As promised, I said I would write a post inspired by this tweet.Why are there no fitted caps with a hole in the back for longer hair? What am I supposed to do with it? Debra Roby
Well I'm not sure if Debra was referring to a knitted hat but that's what I thought of when I read this. I've seen holes for ponytails on baseball caps, bike helmets and even batting helmets. So it only made perfect since to have a ponytail hole for a knitted hat, right? Are you with me? So I gave it a try and it works and looks good! My only regret is that I cut my hair and can't rock one these hats myself (poor me).
So here's the how to. You can make this with any knit/crochet hat pattern that has a seam to sew up in the back. Sew your seam about half way down, leave open a 2 inch hole, sew the rest of the seam to the base of the hat. That's it.
Thanks for the idea Debra!

So very cute, especially on your little one.
Have you seen the pattern called Hannah? It used to be a pattern on Magknits, but they are longer in business, so it's a free Ravelry download. It's a very popular pattern for people who have ponytails. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/hannah-4

When I was little, I used to use the tea-cosy and put my bunches through its holes. So it truly is an eternal problem...
