Pattern

Brim:

With US size 13/9 mm needles, CO 28 sts with the long tail method. Pm and join in the round, being careful not to twist sts. Work in k1, p1 rib for 4 rounds.

Body:

Switch to US size 15/10 mm needles and knit in Stockinette stitch (knit every round) until hat measures 4 ¼ in from cast on (about 14 total rounds).

Decreases:

*ssk, k3, k2tog, pm. Repeat from * 3 times more (8 sts decreased).

Knit 1 round.

*ssk, k1, k2tog, slip marker. Repeat from * 3 times more.

K2tog around.

Cut yarn, leaving an 8 in tail. Weave tail through remaining stitches and draw to close top of hat. Weave in ends and block, if desired.

Double Poms:

Use a 2 ½ in pom pom maker to make 2 poms (wrap yarn around 5 times, or until full).

Attach the poms 3-4 sts below the top of the crown (see video below). Weave ends back through pom and trim ends.

    How, how, HOW do you get your pompoms so perfect? Mine are always so…well, homemade looking. I turn them around and around, trimming and shaping, but they never get anywhere near as nice as yours look. Please divulge your secret! 🙂
