Uses fluffy white yarn and red DK yarn
The white hat band is knitted flat on the circular needle (or a long pair of 4mm straight needles). Row counting begins with the red yarn. On the third red row knitting is transferred to 3 dpns, joined and continued in-the-round. The pompom is knitted as a large bobble in white yarn; rows are knitted back and forth, not in-the-round.

This was designed for the Heart to Heart Bears, sold for the Heart to Heart group in Shanghai China which raises funds for surgeries for Chinese children with congenital heart disease.
