NotesHold the yarn DOUBLE throughout the project. (Two strands held together at all times, to make a thicker yarn)
Given the fact the hat does turn out so big, you can make it smaller by decreasing the number of stitches after working your initial k1, p1 ribbing. Just play around and see what you can get.

Cast on 60 sts for an average adult size head (46 sts for a 1 year old baby) or any multiple of 4.
Join for working in the round, being careful not to twist your sts and place a marker so you know where your round begins.
Work K1, P1 ribbing for one inch. ( I worked 5 rounds)

Cut your tail and weave it around twice through the remaining live stitches and then either leave it long to attach your pom pom or weave into the sts on the inside of the hat.

Easy pattern. I prefer slouchy hats since I can tuck them over my ears. I also knit hats for charity so this would be a quick and easy hat to make. It does not look plain as well. Thank you for the pattern.
