Have not made a messy bun hat as of yet. My daughter bought “Redheart Hygge” yarn and I started one on the hair-tie… but it’s really curling after 4 rows. Tried a smaller hook, doing the same! Really want to use this yarn as my daughter loves it, but I’m not sure how to fix this problem! Would you have any messy bun patterns using this yarn or could you suggest how to fix this problem! Thank you…really appreciate it!
