Chunky and Bulky yarns have never been so beautiful as now. Big stitches in amazing colors and wonderful stitch definition. The brim is two Vikkel Braids with 1x1 rib in between. Simple wide rib bands separated by 1/2 Fisherman’s rib columns. Knit it in one sitting. Faux fur pom poms are so readily available and save the time and yarn used to make pom poms. A week of knitting nights can produce amazing Holiday gifts. There is plenty of negative ease in this bulky hat.
