Basic knit and purl stitches do all the work to create an interesting texture. The ribbed nature of the fabric makes it very stretchy and a comfortable fit for nearly any size noggin.

Choose a worsted weight yarn that will maintain stitch definition after washing.

Pattern includes both written instructions and a chart. Stitch markers will make it easier to keep track of repeat pattern.

Pom pom template and instructions are included. Get creative! - use matching, contrasting, or multi colors; combine different weights of yarn; make it unique by using leftover odds and ends. Or, if you prefer, top with a purchased pom pom.
