Ponytail Sloppy bun hat pattern

 Well, it took me long enough!!! This has been a year where getting anything done has been a chore!!! However I'm happy to say that I can end this year with a new pattern, even if it is super simple.

So let me start with, I discovered the Lion Brand Ombre self striping yarn, and fell madly in love with it. The colors, the feel, the ease of use,  just everything. I'm fact I have 2 more patterns coming your way from this yarn. 1 is in the final stages of development, and one is in the beginning stages of design. 

I hate going to a blog post for a pattern or a recipe and the writer is overly wordy, so I'm going to stop chatting and get to the pattern.
