Thinking about a new round of hats for the year, I always like to incorporate all the odds and ends of leftover yarn from larger projects in a fun way. Stripes always seem to be a good place to start. This year, I decided to keep it simple with ribbed brims that are knit together to keep them warm and neat. The fun part was picking the colors for the stripes. Then I finished them with removable pom-poms. Both good for removing them before washing or for those that like to be less exuberant in their winter wardrobe. The hat has a button at the top on the inside for the pom-pom to be tied around.
