This hat is knitted bottom-up with super bulky yarn and big needles. The pattern is beginner-friendly.
Choose a size with some negative ease (the hat circumference should be 1-2″ [2-5 cm] smaller than the head circumference).
Sample hat is size M and shown on 21.6″ [55 cm] head.
S (M) L
9 sts and 14 rows per 4″ inches (10cm) with bigger needles in stockinette after blocking.
Wool needle, pompom maker
US 11 20″ [8mm 50cm] and US 15 20″ [10mm 50cm] or longer circular needles or a set of double-pointed needles.
Adjust needle size to obtain the correct gauge.
The hat on the images is knitted with super bulky single ply 100% wool Novita Hygge wool (66 yards / 60 meters / 100g). For sizes S and M, you need two 100g skeins and for size L you need 3 skeins. This amount should be enough for making the pompom as well.

Change to bigger needles and work in stockinette until your work measures 8 (8.5) 9″ [20 (21) 22 cm] or 3.5″ [9 cm] less than desired length.
From here on decreases are the same for all sizes.
Break the yarn. Thread through a tapestry needle and draw through the remaining stitches. Pull tight, through to the wrong side.
Following package instructions, make a pompom and attach it to the top of the hat. The pompom attached to the sample hat is approximately 10cm in diameter. With the help of a wool needle weave in ends.

I’m Ida a 30 something engineer living in Lapland, Finland. I love knitting and programming, hence the nickname Knitgrammer. In my blog you’ll find tools (knitting calculators and interactive patterns) which will save you some trouble and do the knitting math for you.
My design philosophy is to make simple, useful, and beautiful things. If I make something I (or my kids or husband) don’t enjoy wearing I won’t publish the pattern.
