I made a messy bun hat for one of the cutest little girls I know. Toddlers don’t always have enough hair to make a messy bun, so I’m calling it a ponytail hat. Isn’t it cute? Ok, Mia definitely helps with that precious face and gorgeous curls.
I’m sharing my pattern with you for free! You can also add it to your Ravelry queue. Enjoy <3 Hannah
