Crocheting A Messy Bun Beanie

We're finally at the point in my winter crochet series, where I get to share the hat I crocheted for myself. After creating the last two hats for my boys, I knew I wanted something that would look it belonged with theirs, but also something that was feminine at the same time. (Just because I live with boys doesn't mean I want to look like one of them!) I searched a little over Pinterest for a a hat I liked before I searched through my own crochet board when I stumbled upon this little gem.

The Project

Crochet A Cabled Messy Bun Hat for Myself

Pattern from CDM Handmade

Supplies Needed:

• 1 Skein Worsted Weight Yarn (I decided to create an ombre effect using 3 skeins of Vannas Choice in Denim Mist, Pink, and Periwinkle)

• 5 mm and 5.5 mm Crochet Hooks

Results

I was always intrigued by this pattern whenever I would see it on Pinterest and I'm really glad I decided to make it after Lyon's hat last week. I'm not sure I would have understood how to do the cables right if I didn't.

What I really love is that it works up so fast.

Before I knew it I had finished the main part of the hat and I just needed to make the bow. I decided to keep my bow pink because I really love the pink color.

Here is how my hat turned out:
