Cable Stitch Square hat with Pom Poms Crochet Pattern

Cable Stitch Square Hat With Pom Poms
Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach of
 Posh Pooch Designs

I have been working on this hat for a couple on months.

I have had so many orders that I am just now getting to
 releasing it. Although this hat looks hard, it is really
 quite easy. I took some pictures to help you with the 
cable section. Once you see how it is done, 

I think you will think it is easy, also.

I designed the construction of the hat a little different

 then I have ever done before, but I think it worked great

 for the cable stitch pattern. The hat is made in a long 

rectangle then sewn closed.

Fold Hat in half, Wrong side out. Sl St  down each side to sew the sides closed, 

Secure tightly and flip over to the right side.

 R : 49(40) Sc around the brim of the hat. 

This will insure that the sides of the hat do not come apart.

Pom pom - Wrap the yarn  around your 4 finger 30 times. 

With a 12 inch piece of yarn slip it through the loops and tie securely. 

Trim pom poms evenly.

Using the tie of the pompoms attach one to each corner of the hat.

 I did this test hat in pink, but wouldn't it be fun in 

some bright colors or variegated yarn?
