Pom free crochet hat pattern

Pom is my latest little creation. I have to say my inspiration for the hat was not the unusually cold weather, but rather a ski hat worn by Claudia Cardinale in the first Pink Panther Movies with Peter Sellers and David Niven. I got the yarn at my new local yarn store, the Quarter Stitch in Wilmingon, NC. I picked a smooth and round cushy yarn, Rowan Pure Wool Worsted.


I loved the look of the beanie with the big pompom, and the slight texture. I simplified the texture to simple front post double crochet stitches against a background of double crochet stitches.


The pattern is so simple all sizes from newborn to adult follow the same pattern at the beginning. A simple rib edging finishes the hat.


For the pompom to be substantial, the best is to make the pompom circumference half of the hat circumference. I like a big pompom!


The hats were so quick to make, I have already made 4, all of which have been claimed. It is time to make more. All I need is a little worsted weight yarn. I will go check my stash for odds and ends, and might come up with a wild hat or two! Striped or not striped, I tell you these are fun to make.


Pom is offered as a free pattern on Ravelry.

I love this pattern I am trying to make my first one. I followed the instructions 1-7 after that it says to continue evenly to hat measures 7". Does this mean repeat round seven?
or does this mean continue like rounds 1-6. any information would be greatly appreciated?

Ahi Shamecka,

It means continue without increasing any more as in row 7. I hope this helps.

Hi Caroline

Hat is amazing and I'm about to make one but just need to ask - is the pattern in UK or American terms? I can't see anywhere where it says?
