Step 1

Gather your supplies and materials.

Step 2

Make a slip knot and add it onto your hook. Tighten it.

Step 3

To begin the hat, chain 37.

Step 4

Insert 1 double crochet into each chain across (skipping the first 2) for a total of 35 double crochets.

Step 5

Turn your work and chain 2.

Step 6

Insert 1 double crochet into the back loop only of each stitch across.

Step 7

Here’s what 1 double crochet into each back loop will look like.

Step 10

Tie off your yarn.

Step 14

Once you’ve sewn all the way around, pull the yarn to gather the top of the hat together.

Step 15

Tie off the end of the yarn to one of the loose ends.

Step 16

Turn the hat inside out.

Step 17

Fasten your pom pom to the hat using the tails of the yarn.To do this, pull out the yarn from inside the hat and bring the tail through the elastic loop of the pom pom.

Step 18

Loop the tails through the the pom pom’s loop several times and then tie a double knot to secure it.

Step 19

Tie off the ends through the gap in the top of the hat. Knot several times to secure it. This should close the gap in the hat as well.
