This is the pattern for the Messy Bun Hat I chose. I probably got it on Etsy, but I’m sure you can find it on Ravelry as well, I will probably choose a different one next time. It was easy to knit but not quite what I wanted, tho what I wanted would not have shown up well with the very dark chocolate brown (almost black) color. If I knit this again I would chose a 2X2 rib, so it would pull in a little more to be a little bit more snug around the head, (this is a 2X1 rib) and maybe go down a needle size on the head. the red kinda looks like fireflies, except instead of yellow their lights are red :P. Maybe re-dye this with a yellow tied off under the black or dark brown and call the color Fireflies. Sorry, you can’t see where the bun would come out because my mannequin’s head has no hair :P.

What an interesting design. I suspect my daughters with their long hair might prefer something like that instead of trying to stuff their long hair into a beanie.

I made a pony tail hat (what they were called then) for my daughter when she was in elementary school, 2nd grade I think, for her ponytail or a braid. They call it mess bun hats now so adults will wear them lol. I have a pattern I like better but when you have a black or very dark brown yarn, designs don’t show up as well, so I opted for this one.

It looks great! As long as the red reminds me of fireflies, I wouldn’t care that it’s not yellow, haha…
