Free Double Pom Pom Hat Knitting Pattern
THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS AFFILIATE LINKS THAT SUPPORT HANDY LITTLE ME CONTENT AND FREE PATTERNS.If you’re craving a quick, cozy knit with a little extra personality, this Double Pom Pom Hat Knitting Pattern is it.
Made with super bulky yarn and worked in the round, this beanie flies off the needles and finishes with two oversized pom poms that give it a fun, playful twist (hello, cute “ears” vibe).
This is a great project for confident beginners/advanced beginners who want an easy win while practicing the basics: knit, purl, simple decreases (k2tog), and knitting in the round.
I knit mine in Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick (Fisherman for the hat and Barley for the poms), but any super bulky yarn will work beautifully.
