If you have never made a messy bun/ponytail hat, give it a try.  There are fewer rows to be made than for the regular beanie hat which is a bit slouchy.  Also, if you haven't yet mastered the magic ring, good news, you don't have to make one in this pattern. 
Working around a hair elastic is easier than you might imagine if you haven't tried it yet.  Give it a try.  

Here is a link to a video that I made for this pattern:
