It's cold up here at the moment and Richard has been suffering as a result. The last beanie I knitted him was two years ago and it's been out of service for some time now. I based this one on the same pattern (Hot Head from Stitch'n'Bitch) but made a few modifications based on my experience from last time (basically longer and wider). As a mark of solidarity against my mean sister, Richard specifically requested that I make a pom pom for the top. Of course I was happy to oblige, but in the end I only trimmed and attached the delightful pom as my daughter Ella finally caught the crafting bug and sat happily at the kitchen table making the pom pom. It was a very proud moment for me of course, and an important one for this pom pom loving side of the family.
You won't feel the cold in that, my husband also has a hair challenge but his choice of hat is not always , quite what I would choose.
