Now that you know how to make a detachable pom pom… (Click here for the blog post if you missed it.) You may want to make a beanie hat to go with it. My aim was to buy three balls of The Women’s Institute Soft & Chunky Acrylic/Merino Yarn and make a hat and a cowl. I have designed both and still have a ball left; so I’m thinking about designing some simple chunky mitts to match. If you go to Hobbycraft, the yarn is very often on a 3 for 2 offer so I wanted to showcase some simple patterns that you can make quickly with three skeins or effectively £8 (When the 3 for 2 offer is on) Hobbycraft is a UK based craft store; so if you’re in another country, any other chunky yarn will work. either 100g or 110m.
If you need to make a last minute Christmas present, this hat can be crocheted in under an hour… and is a brilliant pattern for a beginner crocheter.

So cute and it sounds simple to make too. I have a link up collection at the bottom of a recent post where I shared my favourite free crochet hat patterns. I’m hoping to make the link up an ongoing collection of free patterns so it would be great if you would consider stopping by and linking this up. https://www.sumoftheirstories.com/blog//2017/11/my-favourite-free-crochet-hat-patterns.html
