My little 4 year old was adamant that I knit her a pom pom hat. It has been a while since I have knit her a new hat. I had been working on another design, and I was intrigued with the travelling moss stitch. I wanted to try this design on a hat, and I must say I love it! It is so fun to knit and watch the moss stitch change position on the hat. This pattern is both fully charted and fully written. You can choose to use either or.
