Button Ponytail Hat

This fun hat knits up fast, even for a beginner. The button band allows you to wear your ponytail high, low, or in between and still keep your head warm and cozy. Just undo a button wherever you want your ponytail to stick out. Or wear it with a “messy bun” by undoing two buttons instead of just one.

The row-by-row instructions are easy to follow and it knits up quickly, using mainly knit and purl stitches. The simple slip-stitch pattern is easy to master. The hat is knitted flat on straight needles with no seaming necessary and no picking up stitches. Perfect for a quick present or stash-busting project.
