Chunky Ribbed Pom Pom Hat

I made this for myself

    About

    I was struggling to find a pattern online which I could use with the tools available to me. I didn't have any circular or double pointed needles, I only had super chunky wool, and I only had huge and small needles without anything in between. This pattern was perfect for a beginner and I managed to complete it in a day.

    I had to break into a second ball of wool to complete the last few rows of the hat. The pom pom did not use up much wool and I chose to use some remaining purple wool from my scarf project to make it. If you want to save the cost of buying a whole extra ball of yarn to make a different colour pom pom then you could easily make a matching pom pom with 2 balls of the same colour yarn.

    Needles & Hooks

    • Single Point 12.00mm (US 17)

    Accessories

    • Tapestry Needle
    Other : Cardboard to make a pom pom

    Measurements

    Notes: The pattern recommended 16mm needles which I did not have, so I used my largest needles which were 12mm. 28 stitches across with the MillaMia super chunky wool gave a nice stretchy hat with a snug fit.

    I imagine with wear it will stretch more. I haven't learned much about gauge yet - but 4 stitches turned out to be roughly an inch with the MillaMia wool so I can see myself using this pattern again and adapting it for different sized heads.
