The Sedona Messy Bun Beanie is the perfect transitional bun beanie for Spring and Fall. The open stitch work will keep you cool, while the rib brim will keep your ears warm. I kept the stitch work easy with only two main stitches in the body of the hat and just alternated them.
Below you will find the complete pattern and instructional photos for this crochet hat. You will also find all the materials, stitches, gauge, and sizing information. If you would like all of this in a nicely formatted printable format, you can purchase the Ad-Free Large Print PDF Pattern.
The Sedona Messy Bun Beanie is just a pattern that materialized out of thin air. I picked up a skein of Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn in the color way Painted Canyon, started crocheting and by the end of the day I had this pretty little beanie.
I have been in love with the Painted Canyon color way for a long while and have had two skeins sitting in my stash. Not only was I inspired to crochet this Bun Beanie, but I have a second project in the works with the yarn. Sign up for my newsletter so you don’t miss any of my new free patterns.
I love messy buns because they are a great way to look good on a bad hair day. Just put on the beanie, pull your hair through and make a bun. If you are looking for more Bun Beanies check out my Chunky Plaid Bun Beanie.
