The Easy Breezy Bun Beanie is a warm and cozy crochet beanie you can wear with your hair up in a bun or a ponytail! It’s perfect for Fall and Winter, when it’s cold outside but you want to wear your hair up! This crochet pattern works up quick and easy!

This Easy Breezy Bun Beanie crochet pattern has joined my Easy Breezy Collection! If you’re unfamiliar, I have a whole collection of Easy Breezy patterns, they all feature the same amazing ribbed texture and they work up so quick and easy! This Easy Breezy Bun Beanie features a hole at the top so you can fit your ponytail or messy bun through!

This pattern is beginner friendly and easily adaptable to make it the perfect size for you! The instructions include 4 sizes: Child 3-10 yrs, Teen/Adult Small, Adult Medium, & Adult Large. This version uses a medium weight yarn, for a light weight beanie perfect for cool, Fall weather.

If you want a slightly thicker and warmer bun beanie, check out my Easy Breezy Chunky Bun Beanie, which uses a bulky (5) weight yarn. I’ve been thinking about adding a Super Chunky Bun Beanie version to the Easy Breeze Collections as well, is that something you’d like to see?

Inspiration

As someone who wears their hair in a messy bun 95% of the time, I knew I needed to make a bun beanie version of the Easy Breezy Beanie pattern! I absolutely love wearing beanies to keep my head warm in the colder months, so this gives me the best of both worlds!

Sizes

The Easy Breezy Bun Beanie pattern includes instructions for 4 sizes: child, teen/adult small, adult medium, and adult large. You can adjust the pattern to be any size you’d like though! Work as many starting chains to get the length you want for your beanie and work as many rows as you need. See the size chart below for the measurements to each size.

Sizes (In inches)	Head Circumference	Hat Circumference	Hat Height (total length)	Hat Height (w/ folded brim)
Child (3-10 Years)	19”-20”	15”	8.5”	6.5”
Teen/ Adult Small	21”	16”	9”	7”

Difficulty

Gauge

14 stitches by 9 rows in HDC BLO = 4”by 4” square.
Adjust hook size up or down to meet gauge.

Notes

• Instructions are for the smallest size first, followed by the next sizes up in parenthesis. 
• The pattern is written to create a brim approximately 2” tall. To adjust the height of the beanie and the height of the brim, simply make your initial chain longer or shorter.
• The pattern is written to create a hat circumference approximately 5” smaller than the head circumference to make up for stretching. If you would like to make the hat circumference smaller or larger, simply add or subtract rows. Be sure you always end on a Row 4 (the opposite end of the bun hole).
• The CH 1 at the beginning of each row does not count as a stitch throughout the whole pattern. At the end of each row, chain 1 and turn, work the first stitch into the last HDC from the previous row.
• The number in parenthesis at the end of each row represents the total number of stitches to be worked in each row. The smallest size will be first, followed by the next sizes up. The SC around the center does not count as a ST.
