Bad hair day hat


I saw kids at the mall with their hair braided what torture and $$.
My cousin just a had a baby, has no time but has to go out.Hence the bad hair day hat.
It looks like those corn rows it simply soft yarn. Yank your nasty snarly hair through the top and comb your bangs and your off. Looking put together.My cousin loves her and I have made them for her daughters to match their hair or "highights".Here's the pattern
materials: 2 different colors of simple soft yarn
1 ponytail elastic band
size H hook and size G hook
You will be working in the round
row 1: With a size H hook sc 32 stitches around the pony tail band to cover it. join with a slip stitch
row 2:* chain 10 skip 2 stitches slip stitch in the next stitch* continue until you come to the end chain 3 join in the first chain 10 with a slip stitch.(you should have 16 V's and 1 chain 3 joined) 
row 3: chain 3 *dc in the middle of the chain 10 "V" stitch chain 2 dc  * continue around when you come to the end chain 3 and join with a slip stitch
