This snuggly hat is all that it seems to be! Intended to be a perfect accompaniment to the Matilda scarf, the result is a super comfortable, effortlessly stylish show stopper.
I chose to use a pompom which I purchased online, but a home-made pompom would work just as well and a pompom-less look is great for a man’s classic beanie. (The textured fabric of the hat means that one size fits all and it’s cosy without being too bulky.)
The top-of-hat shaping is cleverly hidden in the textured pattern and the instructions are written round-by-round to avoid any confusion or doubt.
Worked in the round, I am super pleased with this new design and will certainly be using it plenty during the cold Winter months.
