Addi Express Messy Bun Hat (Drawstring)

Addi Express Messy Bun Drawstring hat.
While surfing through my FB group pages. I came across a lovely messy bun hat made on the Addi by Stephanie K. I loved it so much It inspired me to do a versioon of my own. The ponytail pattern can be used on the innovation knitter, Prym or any other circular knitting machine. I used the reverse drop stitch braid to add a little character to the hat.
Messy bun hat or ponytail beanie what every you call it. It will be and easy Addi Express pattern to complete.
I personally love the Addi Express King and the Addi Express pro. What is your favorite circular knitter?

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Thank you so much. This pattern was a bigger success than I thought it would be

[@i.nicolecoulombe1185]

I cant believe I followed your video and made the entire hat with zero mistakes! Thank you so so much for taking your time and not skipping steps.

[@valsbarmoore7991]

I love the idea of the braids in the pattern. I made my granddaughter a messy bun hat with the drawstring a last week, then I see this video. Thanks I like things different. You are so careful to explain things also. Thanks again.

[@macytroy8415]

You are a star at explaining how to use the addi for this brilliant pattern. I never make comments but for you, it had to be done. Thank you and keep safe. xx

[@Buildlifebeautiful]

[@lillygoldmann8264]

You made my day with your tutorial ❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much

[@eckdm01]

Thank you so much. I made a baby snuggle bag using this. Just added some length and used a ribbon at the end.

[@margaretswann6805]

So cool. I’m definitely going to make these hats. Thank you for a great video.

[@karenallen8424]

Wow that’s amazing! So far I can barely make a regular beanie without dropping stitches, I guess I just need more practice but I love this!!

[@Sutojl]

You are great at making tutorials!

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Mastercrafter thank you 😘

[@maxinelutes1464]

Wonderful~~~ LOVE this ! Thank "U" ! ~~ " Addi " !

[@annlalonde6809]

Love this hat

[@verocrawford16]

That's a great way to make hats.

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Thank you. I'm so glad you like it

[@susanmassey1632]

I love the messy bun hat that you made, thank you for sharing with us! I have the addi 46 peg loom and I love finding new ideas that look they won't be too hard for me to make. I will definitely make one of these tomorrow. I trying to get ahead of my Christmas knitting but right now the list still has me outnumbered. I am fairly new to my addi but not to confident yet so I keep going back to regular looms, hand knit and crochet. I will definitely be looking at more of your videos to find other things that I think that I might be able to do. Thank you again!

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Thank you. I am a crocheter at heart. The Addi has speed things up so much for me. Don't be intimated by any of my Addi patterns. They are all just tubes and Flat panels stitched together. I think learning the flat panel is the toughest part. Once you get past the the doors open up. I still can't make any clothes on the machine yet. eventually I will get there.

[@yettiemcpherson3875]

Love your pattern!!

[@jessicamerkert6392]

Wow! I was looking for a long time to try to find a video like this! I wanted to make a bun hat that would be big enough for all of my hair. This is the first hat that I have seen with an adjustable string to fit my hair! It is such a cute pattern too! I love how you incorporate knitting and crochet!

[@meleahstribling7353]

Love this! I’ve been gifted an Addi King Size Knitting Machine for Christmas, but haven’t used it yet. Trying to educate myself first on the do’s and don’ts. Have been a little dismayed that it cannot do purling by default, and that you have to manually manipulate the stitches. Really appreciate your great video!!

[@DeeColbourne]

Beautifully Done! On my let’s of things to make!

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Dee Colbourne thank you. If you're anything like me I have a long list of things to make, lol

[@barbaradimac]

What a brilliant idea 💡. You are awesome!!

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Thank you!

[@barbaradimac]

You are most welcome!

[@darleneanthony5036]

This video is great and can't wait to try it, gonna be a month before my machine gets here, so borrowed daughters to use hers for a pre-run trial. I need a video showing how to use waste yarn and when.

[@aleciamatovu]

Wow! I am going to try this. I have made net scarfs by skipping the stitch and pulling the finished garment to create a long and loose result.

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Thank you. I love the net scarves they are so fun to pull apart, lol.

[@thecatmont]

thank you for this, it is brilliant

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Thank you 😊

[@alicegregory4366]

Wow this is Brilliant l will try and do this Thank you 😊

[@JessicaCEP]

[@Jelly_andJam]

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

thank you

[@susanb6104]

Thank you, I love your videos- no messing around or yammering! (LOL)

[@patshipp9195]

💖💖🙏🙏👍👍

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

That looks beautiful but I don't think I could do it!

[@cristinamartins5270]

Lindissimo

[@vickih5298]

I love all the detail, so pretty! Can the drawstring method be used on a double layered beanie?

[@lidiafisch9155]

Super😃

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Thank you!

[@helgaeriksen3306]

This is a wonderful demonstration. Thank u I always have a problem with the Prim it is always to tight to finish the Prim . What am I doing wrong.?? I just had the addition for two weeks.

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

I think the prym has less hooks than the Addi does. The Addi has 46 needle. So I don't think you are doing anything wrong. the machine just creates smaller hats. You can also try to loosen your tension or try a different yarn

[@jodipoyneer6427]

Do you have a video for showing how to use the waste yarn? Beautiful hat.

[@tedipatterson6968]

This is a great project, Thank you for sharing. I made one but, I was so afraid of the stitches dropping. Is it okay to do more rows of waste yarn at the end?

[@yarnworksbylydianannen3396]

I have a question for you can I do a ear warmer and head band like this?

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

You sure can kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooHUpmaVppmnqNE

[@josephineacampora6977]

On a 48 pin Sentro how many stiches and skips would you do?

[@janegoodwin1823]

I noticed that most people call the cuff of these caps a "brim". Google the word "Brim" and then "Cuff" and you will see the difference and which is which. Love this video. Very informative and well done.

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

haha I googled both words. There is a difference in the meaning, lol. I'm glad you like the video

[@gaylemae]

Why are the last 2 braids so close together? Is there a way to even out the drop stitches so it looks even?

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

gaylemae you can space it out more even. It's just a math game and I haven't figured out the math yet 😉

[@icewebhomestead]

How long does it take to make one from start to finished?

[@farmheroes5455]

aacckkkk I was so excited to see this hat and wanted to make it but once I opened the video, I almost cried I do not have this looming kit so I cant make it

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Awww, I'm sorry. These machines are awesome. The good ones are $$. You can get a cheaper one called the Sentro. Alot of people recommend it. Once you try theses you'll never go back🤣

[@farmheroes5455]

@@LittlejohnsYarn sentro? lemme look for one

[@claychick100]

At the end of the last five pick up stitches, I have two more stitches left before the black needles. Do I drop those?

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

Kathryn Faille you can drop those stitches 😊

[@claychick100]

Littlejohn's Yarn Thanks so much! I love your videos and the amazing projects. I love ideas for the Addie as I do charity knitting and love to make hats that hav e some personality. Yours are really cute.

[@LittlejohnsYarn]

That is so awesome! you have such a big heart. There should be more people like you in the world that donate their precious time.

[@claychick100]

Littlejohn's Yarn What a kind thing to say! I am just one of many, may folks that enjoy this way of giving back. The idea came to me from a dear friend that was in the hospital fighting cancer. She was a knitter and weaver and I asked her if she would like something to keep her busy while she went through treatment. She said she would love to knit some hats for the children in the cancer ward. Now SHE was an angel. She lost her fight but I think of her giving heart often as I work on these little projects.

Sorry I speak Italy... vorrei comprare la lana che usi tu Dove la trovo?

[@correanpariseau3911]

Do you have a pattern for the hat you use in your picture white hat with pom pom

Does anyone know of a tutorial for making a rasta beanie?

[@janegoodwin1823]

it's not a brim. Cowboy hats have brims. Beanies have cuffs, bands or rolls. But not brims. Google key words Brims/Cuffs/Bands and you will get the terms with photos if you need to see them.
