This easy hat pattern was cooked up when I found four scrap balls of Malabrigo Worsted in my yarn trunk that looked strikingly like scoops of ice cream. The scrap balls were too small to make any one item with, but too big to just throw away!

The hat is knit on large needles so the hat is loose and slouchy, and I added a giant pom-pom for some extra fun! If you have some worsted weight yarn scrap balls that are taking up precious stash space and a cold head, give Scoops a try!

Skills necessary to make this pattern:

• Knitting in the round
• Making a pom-pom

I made rigged a 4-inch pom-pom maker out of cardboard, but if you got something a bit classier go for it! :)
