Pomme is a softly slouchy, beret-inspired hat featuring a beautiful textured openwork pattern. Its relaxed volume and distinctive texture create an easy, flattering shape that is comfortable to wear every day.

CONSTRUCTION
Pomme is worked seamlessly in the round from the brim up. The brim is worked first on smaller needles, followed by an increase round before changing to larger needles for the textured openwork body. The crown is then worked on smaller needles to create a more compact finish while maintaining the softly slouchy, beret-inspired shape.
