The About Town Hat is an essential accessory for any winter wardrobe: a classic rib bobble hat with over-sized pompom. Knit the matching scarf and mittens to complete the set.

The hat has a textured rib stitch which has a 2-row pattern repeat on the main body of the hat. The stitches used to create the hat include knit, purl and slipped stitches. The techniques used include increasing and decreasing to shape the crown of the hat and making a pom pom. That hat is knit in a single piece from the bottom up and is knit on two needles knit flat. It has a folded K1 P1 brim and is finished with an over-sized pompom.
