At the first of the year I was asked to join a Facebook Group, called the Patchwork Mystery CAL. The Patchwork Mystery CAL started April 15, 2019 and lasts until July 7, 2019. Below you will find the Patchwork Mystery CAL Schedule which will be 12 weeks long. Also at the end of the schedule I talk about crochet giving you hope!

The Facebook Group consists of me and 11 other fiber artist designing a 12″ x 12″ Square for their mystery CAL. All of the designs were to be and are to held a secret until each artist’s Square is revealed. Also when we were creating our square there had to be a meaning behind the design. Therefore each of us 12 fiber artists have a story to tell when our Square is published.

The purpose of the group’s 12 squares is to create an amazing work of art by joining the 12 squares and creating an Afghan. The creation of the Afghan has you joining 3 Squares across by 4 Squares long. You can arrange your 12 squares any way you prefer or join them in the order of the CAL.

Even though it is week 2 of the CAL, you will have plenty of time to join us and crochet a Square. Today is the release of Square #2. I will be adding to this post weekly, as the next fiber artist’s square is revealed. So if you have want to join our CAL you can do so here. Check out the Announcement section of the group for ALL the information you need to start crocheting your Squares! Also, be sure to subscribe to my email list and you will receive the next Patchwork Mystery Square when it is released!

Twisted Messy Bun Hat Crochet Pattern

Today I will be sharing with you my Twisted Messy Bun Hat Crochet Pattern. I am SO excited about bringing you one of the designs in my Twisted Head Gear Line! That’s right, ONE of the head gear of my Twisted line.

This post contains affiliate links. If you make a purchase using these links I may receive compensation (at no added cost to you.)

This is a FREE crochet pattern from my Twisted Head Gear Line. This line of Head Gear will be Unisex patterns. I know what you are thinking “A messy bun hat for Men?!?” Yes, absolutely! Any Men with long hair can wear this and any of the crochet patterns in my Twisted Head Gear Line. I have designed 5 so far and the next 6 are in production (in my head lol)!

So right now you can take advantage of this FREE version of the Twisted Messy Bun Hat in size Tween or Small Adult. You can find the rest of my designs the for this hat or any of my patterns at the Ravelry Store here. The sizes in this crochet pattern range from Newborn to Large Adult.

I have made a Video Tutorial that goes along with this pattern. You can find my Video Tutorial for the Tween or Adult Small Messy Bun Hat at my YouTube Channel. There are 3 Video Tutorials for this hat. R1-R4 are available below.

This hat would also be good for chronic pain sufferers or those with Scoliosis to do. It is not a very long pattern and it would give those who deal with chronic pain from Scoliosis, like me, a feeling of accomplishment. Crocheting is a Great tool to use if you suffer from Anxiety, Depression, OCD, and Chronic Pain. It really helps me keep my mind off of pain and it leaves me with a sense that I can still be productive.

With that being said, let’s get started! Scroll down and you will find the pattern.
