Jumping Up and Down for the Pom Pom


My favorite winter hats as a child made the list because of the pom poms on top. The bigger and more colorful the better. Needless to say when you are knitting a hat you start with simple and add more complicated details later. After knitting my first hat on the loom I still had enough yarn from that skein to knit another hat on my needles. Then there was still some left so I jumped in and added a pom pom on top. Thrilled with my newest details I modeled the hat. Some very honest opinions informed me it was cute but, not me, too young for me, and my favorite, just plain silly. Alas, one day perhaps a child who believes like I did, the bigger and more colorful the pom pom the better, will get to wear this hat.
