"What makes it different from the other cute messy bun hats is that it can be made into a beanie as well. One pattern, two finishing options. That’s basically a two for one, right? This hat pattern has a really retro vibe to me due to its more rounded shape. Plus, mustard always has me feeling vintage. This messy bun hat can be turned into a beanie by simply pulling the tail to cinch it closed. Or, keep it as a messy bun hat by sewing in your ends. It uses alternating stitches for a simple texture, and it’s perfect for anyone who loves a little retro in their lives."

Im a little confused by the name of this project. It sounds like it would be something worked flat and then seamed, but its actually worked in the round like a regular beanie or messy bun. Each round is joined by a Slip Stitch to the beginning of the working round, and I dont see where you ever turn the work. It seems to be a nice hat so Ill probably give it a go.
