Introducing the Maisy Crochet Chunky Messy Bun Hat
This crochet chunky messy bun hat is modelled on my chunky beanie. I wanted to create a beginner friendly chunky messy bun hat with the same stitches as my chunky beanie pattern and I love how it turned out.
I love the top down construction style and the back loop only single crochet brim.
The Maisy Crochet Chunky Messy Bun Hat is great for those who always rock their messy buns.
This crochet Chunky Messy Bun Hat is beginner friendly and super easy to whip up. Messy bun hats are so popular at the moment as they have an opening at the top of the hat. This means you can wear a hat while also wearing your messy bun or even a ponytail as it can fit right through the hole on the top of your messy bun hat. This is a perfect project for a quick gift and uses only the double crochet and single crochet stitches.

Inspiration for The Maisy Crochet Chunky Messy Bun Hat
The inspiration for my Maisy Crochet Chunky Messy Bun Hat was fuelled by requests from market goers for a chunky style hat they could wear without squishing their messy buns .
Up to now all my messy bun hats have been made with worsted weight (4) yarn so I had to come up with a version of the messy bun hat that would use the super bulky Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick yarn that is my go to yarn for nearly all of my winter hats and headband projects.
I wanted this to be a beginner friendly pattern that also had a great style and fit. I decided to take inspiration from my most popular hat design, my Chunky Beanie Crochet Pattern , and I came up with a way to create the hole in the top of the hat while keeping the cool look and feel of the Chunky Beanie. I am pleased with the Maisy Chunky Messy Bun hat as it keeps the same characteristics as the original chunky beanie and the brim made with the back loop only single crochet stitches ensures a great fit.

Special Stitch for this project.
For this hat you need to do the single crochet back loop only stitch. (scblo). This is used to create the brim of this hat.
You will be working with single crochet, but it is done into the back loop of the stitch.
I created a video showing how to do the back loop only technique using the single crochet stitch and posted it onto youtube for you. I hope this helps you understand how to work into the back loop of the stitch.
