Quick and easy hannah knits up in one night. a few hours and bam - you've got yourself a lovely new accessory. Knit on a US12/9mm it works up fast and it's simple to customize to your desired slouch/length. and helloo....that pom pom just melts my heart. Love it. Pom poms and I have had a love/hate relationship because I can never seem to make a good one but I have broken my curse (I like to use my pal jane richmond's pom pom tutorial).
Making pom poms with rasta is actually fun! I love the added touch of fun the pom pom adds to this hat. I also love the coziness the 2x2 rib that goes to mid crown adds to keep your ears warm. That extra bit of depth just feels so right on the part of my head that gets the coldest while waiting for school pick up.
Best part is hannah only takes (1) skein of malabrigo rasta! Plus the pattern is only $1.99!!! That's it - time to treat yourself! Just remember that if you alter the pattern or choose to NOT unravel your gauge swatch you will need another skein to be able to finish the hat and the pom pom. I seriously used every last inch of my skein. There were no leftovers..not even one centimeter..lol.
