Making this hat for Kerry for her photography and modelling purposes.
Top Tip
When using the chenille Chunky yarn make sure to tie a knot in the end, this stops all the fluff coming off. What I do is join the chenille yarn (in your preferred way) and then I tie a knot in the end of the yarn that you’ll be sewing in later or carrying along with you until it’s worked over. Don’t forget when you cut the chenille yarn once your round is done you’ll want to do the same, just join the next yarn first and then tie that knot at the end of the chenille yarn. It really is worth it as it will stop all the fluff coming off :-) I tend to use my scissors and cut off any excess yarn after the knot otherwise you’ll still find some fluff coming off.
Pom Pom Notes
I used my clover pom pom maker to make one for this hat and I used my 45mm size pom pom maker which is from the small set from Clover.
Yarn Amount Adjustments
I made an extra pom pom as I wasn’t happy with my first one. This means the amount I’ve included above includes this as I need to keep my stash correct. Below is the amount used on the extra pom pom, just take this total away from the one above and that’s the true yarn amount for this hat.
Candyfloss Pink Yarn: 7g
This means to make this hat I actually used 40g
Photos includes a photo collage of this hat along with another, same size different colour. If you’d like the details for this hat here is the link below;

I’ve added photos at the bottom (technically the start) showing all the baby hats I made for Kerry which include this hat. I’ve also included photos of the baby hats I made from this pattern along with another called Eskimo Kisses. The last photos are the baby hats I made using this pattern, so that includes the link to the hat above. After these photos you’ll then see it starts with my work in progress photos of this hat, finishing with finished photos and photo collages (so the top of the photos, technically the end).
