How To Crochet A Ponytail Holder Messy Bun Beanie Hat Tutorial

Okay, I'm going to show you how to make this messy bun hat I'm using a ponytail holder, this ponytail holder, I started with 22 double crochet around it and I started at the top this time. My other one I started at the bottom. A lot of people are asking about the elastic band. You can use a ponytail holder. This stretch is really good to get your hair through there. You just have to pull it really tight out. My hair fits through there nicely. This measure is one and a half inches, so I would if you want to do a bigger ponytail holder, that's fine, but it may not work with this hat, because the way I created the Hat, I'm making this hat straight from a double crochet hat pattern that I already have for an adult woman, I'm using a J. This is a J hook and this yarn is a medium worsted, impecable, pink yarn and you can do all sizes. You just have to change the hook, size so 14. I would use an eye for a child. I would use an H for a toddler. I would use a G for I you know so it's listed down below. I have a link for the pattern, so i just did all these increase rounds and then i just did all double crochet rounds and then at the bottom I did front post back post, but you I want to do more rows of this. I just stopped there. So at the end, I'm going to show you how to do the front post back post. If you want to do that, and so let's get started. Okay, I'm going to show you how to use the ponytail holder for the messy bun hat. You can grab that yarn yarn over slip. Stitch then you're going to chain three that slip stitch. One two three then you're going to work. Ten more double in this, I'm sorry you're going to work 22 double in this ponytail holder, because it's kind of like you're doing eleven in the center and then you're doing two after that and real mitting it because we're using the circle for where the hair comes Out of so you're, going to insert your hook grab that yarn yarn over pull through two yarn over pull through two yarn over insert your hook. Grab that yarn pull through two. This is a double crochet you're going to do a total of 22. You have one two three, this counts as one grab the yarn pull through and just keep working. These double crochet in this ponytail holder. Until you have a total of 22, just keep working it until you have a total of 22 okay. So now you have 22 double crochet around and you're, going to slip stitch on top of that chain, 3 you're going to pull your yarn through and then pull through four slip. Stitch then you're going to chain 3 yarn over and pull through. This counts as your first double crochet for this round you're going to work that one here and then in the next stitch, you're going to work, two double crochet and then work. Another double crochet and this is the increase, so pull through two pull through two. Now, that's the pattern for this round, so you're going to do one double crochet and then two in the next. So it's going to be one and then two one and then two so now you're going to do one and then two and then just repeat that all the way around for this round. So for this round you have one two one, two in the one double one and then to just repeat that all the way around for this round: okay, so you're at the end here and you're, going to slip stitch in the chain three and then chain. Three. This counts as a double crochet. The next pattern for this round is double crochet in the next and then work two. So this is one one and then to increase. That'S the pattern for this round and then work one in the next two. So one double crochet and one in the next and then two on the next. So that's the pattern. This round, 1. 1. 2. 1. 1. 2. Work that all the way around till the end. Ok, we're done with this round you're going to slip stitch on top of that chain, 3 and then chain 3 and then you're going to double crochet and the next stitch. So down here. You did 1 2, this time you're going to do 3. 1 in the next 3 then 2 in the next one. This is an increase, so the pattern is 1, 1, 1 and then 2, so 1 double crochet and then 1 and then 1 again. So that's the pattern. 1 1 1, which is 1, is 3 double crochet in the next one: double crochet in the next 3, so 1, 1, 1 and then 2 increase. That'S what you do for this realm and so repeat that around so you have 1, 1, 1. 2. 1. 1. 1, 2. Repeat that all the way around to the end: ok, so you're at the end, you're going to slip, stitch and now you're going to chain 3 again that then you're going to double crochet in each double crochet around there's no more increase rounds. This is just all double crochet, so just continue around with double crochets and then so just 1 in each and then slip stitch on top and it's going to look like this, you have one two three four rounds of increases. You omitted the first round of increase and then, when you get it right here, so you had one two three four, then you just do one two, three, four, five, six six rounds of just double-crochet, nothing else. If you want to add this front post back post round, I would do at least four to five rows of this, or you can just continue on with just five to four more rows until the Hat hat reaches about five or seven and a half inches from About here all the way down, so I'm going to show you. The next part is the front boat front, post back post at the end. Okay, so you're at this part, where you can do the front post back post and then you're going to chain three to start. So you can change three to start and then you're going to do a front post by taking your hook. Inserting your hook grab that yarn pull through yarn over pull through two yarn over pull through two that's a front post, then you're going to back post, read rapture yarn around the hook, go behind insert your hook in front of that post grab the yarn pull that Yarn through that post bring that yarn up yarn over pull through two yarn over pull through two. This is an option. Of course you don't have to do any front post back post, but it gives you a nice rim brim at the end, and so you can continue doing this. It'S up to you or you can just continue on with double crochet, so you're going to front post again, grab that yarn yarn over pull through two and then pull through two, and there are videos on front post back post. If this you need practice on this, it's up to you grab that yarn wrap it in front of that post yarn over pull through two yarn over pull through two loops. This is a front post, double crochet grab that yarn pull it through, and then we can do a back post grab that yarn in front of that post, pull through two pull through two, so you can do that if you like a front post back post front Post back post front back repeat that all the way around I'm going to show you how you can do some more okay, so you're at the end of the first round of front post back post slip stitch on top of that chain, three and then chain three. These third chain three - they don't really get involved in the front post back post, but they just end your end year round. So take your yarn yarn over you're on the front post you're going to insert on that front post. You created last time take your hook behind that stitch, pull through yarn over pull through two yarn over pull through two. Then you have your back post, which is back. Take your hook insert wrap it around grab the yarn pull through that post yarn over pull through two pull through two. So that's your front, post back post, see just repeat that again insert it in front of your front. This is just an option if you're a true beginner - and this is too advanced - I would just do all double crochet around. That'S fine too. It'S whatever you think you can handle front post and then back post. You can do this up to four to five more rounds depending on how long you want your hat, or you can just continue on with double crochet you're starting to get that rich. Look now, then, when you're all done you're just going to take your yarn needle and you're, going to insert it on the inside here and any ends that you have you're going to want to weave them in and out so just weave them in and out where You can't see them about three different times in the inside, where nobody can see them. Then you're just going to cut that yarn and that hides and secures that yarn you're going to do that for the rest of the hat, and then your hat will be complete. I would just do some more rounds and when you're done with this round, you're going to slip stitch back on top of this chain three and then work another round, a couple more rounds of this front, post back, post or all double crochet. This is how you do this hat. This might be easier for beginners. If you have a point, two holder or you may need to go, buy one. This might be easier than the first hat that I did with just starting with the brim. I think that made it a little bit more tricky for beginners and also just for starting at the bottom, because we weren't, I wasn't getting the count perfectly right. So I think this is a better fit and thank you for watching. Please subscribe if you haven't already
