Galentine's - a quick pom-pom hat knitting pattern

The perfect gift knit offers just enough challenge, a quick work up, and the opportunity to stack on an enormous plush pom, and this colorwork beanie is just the ticket. Adaptable to various skills levels, the bold pattern showcases rich colors and yarns with crisp textures.

With a fit like a very relaxed beanie, the Galentine’s Hat offers just the right amount of slouch on which to pillow a big pom (if that’s your style). A nice snug brim keeps it on your head, out of your eyes, and fitting well for many seasons. The tubular cast-on keeps the ribbing nice and stretchy and creates an elevated rolled hem look.

Construction

Galentine’s is knit from the bottom up with increases worked after the ribbing before beginning the colorwork. Symmetrical decreases shape the crown.
