It’s a sad day when you crochet a pom pom beanie and the pom pom falls off!
That’s why I created this video. I’ll show you my method to tie your pom pom on really well so that it stays where you put it.
Even when the hat goes through the washer (not the dryer! lay it flat to dry).
Even when your kid whips it off her head and throws it on the floor.
This is the best way to keep that pom pom secure to the hat and give it a shot at living a long and prosperous life.
Grab the pattern for the Pondera Beanie that’s featured in this video!
I've been crocheting men's beanies since 2002, and I started to get tired of making the same basic hat over and over. So, I decided it was time to take it up a notch with the Pondera Beanie!
This pattern is not difficult but it’s slightly more challenging than some of my designs. At the top of the hat, you'll use seed stitch which is alternating single crochets and double crochets. This is really fun but I always need to turn off the TV so I can concentrate on counting my stitches at the top of the hat. You'll see what I mean.
Then, on the brim of the hat (navy blue in the photos above), you'll get to practice front post double crochet and back post double crochet to make a really cool ridged look.
And then, you'll top it all off with an adorable pom pom! One of my friends told me that men don't like beanies with pom poms, but I disagree! I watch football every Sunday and I always see those big tough football players wearing pom pom beanies on the sidelines during the games. I say, if it's good enough for an NFL football player, then it's good enough for any guy!
If you’ve mastered the basic beanie and you’re ready to learn or master the variations of double crochet, then you’re going to have a fun time!
