Kenna Messy Bun/Ponytail Hat...

I designed my "Kenna Messy Bun/Ponytail Hat for a very special tween for part of her Christmas gift.  Before I was a "Mamaw," I was a "RiRi" to MaKenna.  She's the daughter of a young couple that I spent years teaching in Sunday School and Youth Group at church.  So, when they wed and gave birth to MaKenna, it was just a natural bond with her.  I would work all week 8am-5:30pm, pick her up on Friday evenings and keep her all weekend.  And, so, I became RiRi to her.

I used worsted weight yarn and a 5.5mm hook.
