Gotta catch all them admiring looks at the next gamer convention. Wow your child with their very own Trainer Tam inspired by the starter hats on the Pokemon Shield and Pokemon Sword games. This hat would make an excellent addition to a cosplay, don’t you think? I recommend wearing it pinned to the hair to keep it in place.

The bulk of the hat is double crochet so this project works up pretty quick. Instructions are also given for the decorative bauble and cross pieces that give this hat it’s distinctive style.

This pattern has been rigorously tested by multiple testers to ensure clarity of the instructions.

Originally designed by Nine Inspired, this design found a new home with Littlejohn’s Yarn in 2025.
