Note

The messy bun hat was created for pre-teens/adults using bulky yarn. Thus, these instructions have been written for that size and using this type of yarn. [Head size 21-22 inches].

This project can be customized to fit different sizes.

To Adjust Size

Measure the circumference of your head. Start in the middle of your forehead, wrapping the measuring tape around your head about 1/8 inch above your ears to determine the measurement of your head. Therefore, when you create your project, you will want it to be an inch or two smaller, depending on the yarn stretch.

The hat will be approximately 2 inches smaller than your head size in order for the hat to fit snugly on your head.
