Bobble Stitch Beanie

It's the third day of virtual learning here in MD and so far so good. I'm really happy with how well my kids have adjusted to this new style of learning. My oldest started high school and he prefers to work in his room but my two younger kids are set up in the living room with me.

I'm sharing a "behind the scenes" pic of our work space below. Who knew that our living room would one day end up being a work space for the three of us. While getting organized, I came across this Red Heart Super Saver Ombre yarn in my craft room and decided that I needed to turn it into a beanie. I love the combination of the bobble stitches, the blending of one color hue to another and the pom pom! I think the hats turned out super cute! Follow me on Instagram (lovable_loops) or Facebook and let me know what you think!

Attach Brim

Use your tapestry needle to sew the brim to the hat. Make sure each stitch of the hat lines up with a row from the brim (72 sts/rows for child size and 84 sts/rows for adult size). The brim will stretch as you go.

Sew the seam of the two ends of the brim together. Weave in all of your ends.

Pom Pom

Photos are from my LOVE Beanie.

Use your large Pom Pom maker.

Firmly and evenly wind your yarn around each set of arches. After the first set of arches, close them and then wind your yarn around the second set. 

Cut the yarn between each set of arches.

Use your scrap piece of yarn to tie the pom pom. I recommend you double/triple knot it.

Carefully open the arches.

Use a hot melt adhesive to place a dab of glue in the center of the pom pom. This will help prevent it from unraveling.

Fluff your pom pom and trim any long ends.

Use a tapestry needle to attach your pom pom to the top of your hat.
