18 Inch Doll Madison Messy Bun Hat Crochet Pattern

18 Inch Doll Madison Messy Bun Hat Crochet Pattern

This 18 Inch Doll Madison Messy Bun Hat is another pattern in the Madison Series. Your little girl will be begging for you to make this hat for you. You can easily add a bow just below the bun opening, on the front or back for added cuteness.

This Madison series is my style completely – I love it! It's trendy, and has a lot of style to it, but using just one color brings a little simplicity to it. And I'm not sure about you, but I think 18 inch doll accessories are the cutest things. Most people may think I'm too old to play with dolls but I don't think so. It's too much fun coming up with new designs for them. 😉
