    About

    Love the WYS Croft Yarn. Had a hank of yarn left over from my jumper and wanted to make something. Hence a hat came to mind. Ended up ordering a extra hank just in case. However only went into the second one for the pompon. Plenty in one hank for hat with contrasting pompom. Two hanks enough for hat plus Head Band with some left over. Can definately reccommend this pattern, well written clear easy to follow instructions. Numerous sizes from baby to adult. Instructions are given in pattern for knitting flat or in the round. Love the finished item, very tempted to keep for myself and order more yarn to make another one forRoxanne.
    Also have a strong feeling my friend just might need a new hat for Christmas.

      Got to love a pom pom nearly as big as your head! I am sure Roxanne will love it
