Skein and Hook

This is the hat that matches the Green Pom Pom Scarf that I published earlier this year.  I LOVE the texture of this hat.  Before you attach the pom pom, you can choose which side of the hat you want to use (it is completely reversible at this stage). Here I'm using three colors to achieve a color block look but this hat would be really beautiful in a solid color as well.

I have always loved the look of a mitered square.  Most of them are knit though the crochet versions have been popping up more and more lately.  Here is a beautiful example of a knit mitered square blanket- Image source: https://www.flickr.com/photos/taniaho/4817508065/in/album-983985/ I have been wanting to come up with my own version of this for a while and here it is!  I have to say, I love it so much :) I love the bright colors and I love the soft, squishiness of Cascade Yarns Pacific yarn that I used.  I hope you love it too!
