About a week ago I have released the pattern for 'Cosy' hat,
it's the first pattern from
3-pattern Cosy knits collection, chunky knits to keep you
extra warm.
Modelled by my boyfriend Dave
The hat is quite brilliant! (If I may say so myself) it is
unisex, men and women
can enjoy the warmth of 'Cosy'. It is a super quick knit;
the hat can be knitted in an evening. It can be worn as a beanie (just fold the moss stitch border) or slouchy and
it only takes one ball Rowan Big Wool, 80 meters/ 87 yards to be precise and you
can decorate it with a pompom made out of any yarn.
Let’s talk more about the
joys of making a pompom, as I’m sure we all love a good pompom?
Whoever said that making a pompom is a chore! Let me show
you the quick and easy
way of making one. No need for expensive gadgets or cutting
out circles out of
cardboard (anyone remembers that from school?). All you need
is your hand, yarn
and scissors.
Start by wrapping your yarn around your palm as many times
as you wish. The more
yarn the thicker the pompom.
When
you are happy with your thickness, remove carefully and place it on a 20cm length
of yarn.
Tie the piece of yarn tightly around the middle of your wrap yarn.
Tie the piece of yarn tightly around the middle of your wrap yarn.
Cut the loops of wrapped yarn
Trim the pompom so all strands are even.
And voila! Pompom made
Attach it to your hat and you are ready for whatever winter can throw at you.
