This double pom pom hat pattern is a great advanced beginner project for anyone who is learning how to knit in the round.
I wanted to share with you an easy hat to knit, that has not one but two pom poms!
This hat is perfect for the colder weather, as it has been knit with super bulky yarn, in one of my favourite colours – fisherman (Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick and Quick).
An Easy Level Knitting Pattern
This is an easy pattern for those of you who are advanced beginner level, and the techniques you will need to know are knit, purl, k2tog and knitting in the round.
Using mainly knit and purl stitches, it will also introduce you to decreasing and shaping.
If you have never knit in the round before you can watch my video tutorial here.

The Yarn I Used…
I made the hat using Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick and Quick yarn in fisherman and for the poms, I used the same yarn in the colour barley.
This was knit up quite quickly and used only one skein of yarn for the hat and less than one skein for the poms.
Any super bulky weight yarn 06 will be okay to use for this pattern.
