Super Bulky Oversized Messy Bun Hat crochet pattern

Super Bulky Oversized Messy Bun Hat

Continuing with the Messy Bun Hat crochet pattern saga, not last and not least is another messy bun hat feature called Super Bulky Oversized! I really debated on calling it Super-Size Me, but I may wait for the next bulky one. Some people may call this yarn chunky which can be a little confusing, but the look is all cutesy! This is an oversized but NOT slouchy hat. It is thick and luscious and gently hugs your head without squashing your hair out of shape.
