Worsted Watch Cap version using suggested mod of half twisted rib stitch to give it a bit more texture.

Decreases are very easy to work without a cable needle.

Great hat. Fun to knit. Excellent, detailed pattern that really covers the techniques. Will knit again.

Added a “Slate medium” faux fur pompom from Simply Socks Yarn Co. which has an excellent selection of sizes and colors--and the pompoms have a sturdy stretchy cord for easy fastening and removal.
