WOMEN’S MEDIUM CHELSEA MESSY BUN HAT IN A SOLID COLOR
SIZING AND YARDAGE
For this pattern, which fits a women’s medium (22″ circumference), you’ll need 75 yards of super bulky yarn. I used Lion Brand Hometown USA in Chicago Charcoal.
ADDITIONAL MATERIALS
- 9.00 mm (US size M/N ) Crochet Hook
- Sewing Scissors

With 9.00 mm hook and super bulky yarn
To Make the Band at the Bottom of the Hat

Do not fasten off.
With right sides together and crochet hook on the right-hand side of the piece, SLST the last row of SCs (through the back loop) to the beginning row of chain sts, matching the stitches across. This will create a circular band.
Turn the cuff right-side out so that the seam is on the inside.

May I ask where you got the tag (Label) you have on this hat? I’ve been looking for a place I could purchase some. Thanks
Hi Angela, For sure! I got my tags from All This Wood on Etsy. You can find their shop through my affiliate link, here: http://tidd.ly/fbd929d8
Hope you find just what you’re looking for. They’ve done great work for me with a super fast turnaround!
Love love love creating this hat. Simple and quick is my favorite kind of project. Looking forward to purchasing so I can do the color change. Will post pics later in the group. Thanks for this amazing pattern
Thank you, Yasmin! I’m so happy that you’re enjoying this pattern. I can’t wait to see photos!!
What do you mean by the back bar / Aka third loop
Hi Debbie,
When you’re working through the loops of a HDC, you’ll see the front and back loops of the stitches that you would typically work through. However, instead of working in one of those loops, you’ll go to the back of the HDC to find one more horizontal stitch at the back of the HDC. You’ll work your stitches in that loop, thereby pushing the front and back loop forward to make the ribbed area on the hat.
I hope this helps. If you still need more information, there are videos on youtube that can assist, simply search the phrase “crochet in the third loop).
Pam
I love this pattern. Thank you so much. I’m finding I have to add rows for an adult hat, but it makes the cutest child hat.
Hi Pam. Thank you for this pattern. I am not understanding how to start a new row. When I chain one it leaves a large space and creates obvious holes In the area of ending and beginning of rows..
Hi Jane,
If you’re having trouble using a CH1 method, you might try simply moving on to the next round without chaining.
I hope that helps,
Pam
