Many ponytail and messy bun hats start with an opening that's tight around your hair. This shell stitch hat by Lauren of Daisy Cottage Designs has a larger opening, which makes it easier to slip on over your hair bun.
The shell stitch design gives this a nice texture and the added bow makes it extra special. This and many of Lauren's other patterns are free, but you can also buy the PDF version for easy printing and saving.

Diamonds Messy Bun Hat Free Crochet Pattern
"I've had so many crocheters reach out to tell me that they LOVED my Chevron Peaks Slouch. I was pleasantly shocked because it was one of those designs that I really didn’t think would garner much attention. All of the positive messages I received were the reason I used the same technique for the argyle stocking and argyle beanie, slouch and messy bun. After making the argyle beanie, slouch and messy bun I realized that by removing a couple of stitches, it created a nice, even diamond design. So that's where inspiration for this one came from. I've got a couple more fun designs coming your way with this technique too! "
