Easy Knit Hat for the New Year

Daughter #2 and her friends all wanted "matching" hats.  Which translated into a chunky knit hat that folded up at the brim and double pom poms attached. My daughter chose black for her hat.  Why, you might ask?  Because she is into neutrals and she knew that no one else would want that color.  (And believe me when I say there was a LOT of drama involving the color choice picks--aren't 13 yr. old girls awesome?)  She isn't a pink girl at all. 

So between me and another of the mom's we got them all done.

Here is my daughter in hers.

 

Details:

• Loops and Threads Charisma in Black--2 skeins needed because of the pompoms.
• Pattern based on this basic knit pattern.
• Cast on 60 with size 11 circular needles.
• K1 P1 ribbing pattern for approx. 4 inches.
• Seed stitch pattern for the body of the hat.
• Pinterest inspiration here and here.
