This week I used some of my recent purchase of Berocco Vintage Chunky to make a simple PomPom Hat.

Utilizing Curious Handmade’s Easy Bobble Hat Pattern as a base,  this was a quick hat.

I think its time I bite the bullet and make a hat in the round though.

The US size 15 straight needles caused me hand pain and my selvages are too loose to get a nice seam.

Although, I think my seam looks pretty darn good if I do say so myself!

I used Purl Soho’s video tutorial for the mattress stitch seam.

I love my Clover PomPom maker-a great $4.00 purchase.

I used Lion Brand Jiffy yarn for my pompom (I bought a whole lot of this yarn in varying colors at Job Lot for $1.00 skein.  Makes great pompoms)

For my next hat, I am going to use the same basic pattern (for sizing), but do it on circulars.

I have enough yarn left over to make it in the same color (for me).

I think todays hat will look cute on Miss ME as a slouchy pompom hat!

Have a good week!

Happy knitting & crocheting!
