GAUGE:

In stockinette stitch: 10 X 10 cm = 15 sts. X 20 rows.  

STITCHES USED:

• Rib stitch (see tutorial rib stitch)
• Stockinette stitch (see tutorial stockinette stitch)
• Striped stitch: Change color every 6 rows. 8 times.

HOW TO MAKE THE HAT?

Cast on 65 sts. and knit in rib stitch for 6 rows. Continue in stockinette stitch, changing color every 6 rows, following the compositional scheme of the striped stitch. I recommend you adjust the hat to the appropriate size for the child.

Close with a tapestry needle and gather. Then tack.

Sew both sides.

POM-POM

To make the pom-pom: 

Cut 2 cardboard circles 9 cm in diameter and make a 2 cm diameter hole in the center. Make a cut in both cardboards to pass the wool easily.

Pass the wool through the circle as many times as necessary. The more passes, the more volume it will have.

Carefully cut the wool around the circle.

Insert a strand of wool between the two cardboards, across their entire diameter, and carefully pull tightly, wrap, and tie 2 or 3 times, so that it is well secured. Leave a strand to sew to the hat.

Trim the excess fringe until the pom-pom has a spherical shape. Sew the pom-pom to the hat.
