Materials:
- 1 set of 16 inch US15 (10 mm) circular knitting needles
- 1 ball Wool Ease Thick and Quick Solids in the “Thaw” colorway
- 1 ball Wool Ease Thick and Quick Prints in the “Abalone” colorway
- Tapestry needle
- Scissors
- Tape measure
- Stitch marker
Sizing:
- 9 inches tall (without pom pom)
- 18 inch circumference
- Pom pom is 4 inches tall
Instructions for hat:
CO 44 sts using the long tail cast on.
Place marker and join, being careful not to twist.
Rounds 1-8: K2, P2 around.
Rounds 9-27: Knit all stitches, or until hat measures 9 inches from cast on edge.
Round 28: K2tog around.
Round 29: K2tog around.
Using tapestry needle, break yarn leaving a long tail (about 12-18 inches). Thread through remaining stitches and pull tightly to cinch up the top of the hat and fasten off with a secure knot.
Instructions for pom pom:
To make a pompom, cut a piece of yarn about 12 inches long. Wrap yarn about 80-90 times around your hand. Tie tightly in the center of the “bundle” and cut all loops, keeping the two ends long (to attach to hat later). Trim ends to give your pom pom a “hair cut” until the pompom is more compact and neat looking. Tie onto top of hat (I like to do an “x” when I sew it on to keep it from flopping around too much) and weave in all ends that remain.
