Messy bun beanies are all the rage right now but what is a girl to do if her hair isn’t long enough for a messy bun? You crochet a wide earwarmer, tha’ts what.Keep your ears cozy and your hair neat.
I used a new stitch for this project. Its called the “mixed cluster “. I love the texture of it. You start this stitch in the same stitch you finished the previous cluster. I know it sounds a little intimidating but once you get the hang of it you’ll fly through this project.

I think it would help alot if you did a tutorial and did it step by step.
I just finished one today. love the pattern, thank you!
New to crocheting, a video tutorial would be so helpful!
what is yo? I am not familiar with that term. Thanks
Its yarnover.
Hi after completing round 3 how many sc should you have? Worked this pattern twice and after round 2 I am coming up with 54? Should it be 58 after the mixed cluster?
Is there any way to avoid the tangle joining together . I know of a way if you didnt have to sc before you join with the slip stitch I am having a horrid time , keeps twisting
Is there a video tutorial available? Please and thank you!
Sorry cassie I dont have a video tutorial for this pattern.
Just finished this and I have to say wow! Absolutely love it and I made it in about 40 minutes. Will be making several more for a Christmas bazaar next week! Thanks for sharing!
I was really impressed how quick it was, made 2 within an hour, thank you 😊
So could you keep going up with this pattern and make it a pony tail beanie? Is it worked bottom up or top to bottom? Thanks.
If I would like to make this headband a bit bigger, what is the stitch count repeat? I would like to figure out how many foundation stitches I need to begin the headband. Thank you so much!
