Are you tired of the bump you have under your hat when you wear your hair up in a messy bun, ponytail or twist? Well here are 20 Free Crochet Patterns designed to fit around our popular messy updos – Choose from patterns for fitting over Ponytails, buns and updos! Some of these can even be converted into cowls and neckwarmers. These are definitely a “hot item” this season! I will add more links to the collection as they are released 🙂

My Ponytail or Knot Hat has a Full Video Tutorial to walk you through the process and the added bonus of the ponytail opening being at the base of the hat near the band!

Check out this new option here: Ponytail or Knot Hat
