GAUGE:
7 single crochet and 9 rows = 4 in. (10 cm). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
NOTES:
Hat is worked in continuous rounds. Do not join at end of rounds.

FINISHING
Pompom
Following package directions, make a pompom. Tie pompom to top of Hat. Weave in ends.
I made this using Grey Marble yarn without the pom pom and it was quick. I added a few extra stitches to the chain for a larger head. Very warm hat. Next time I'll weave in some fun fur yarn for a different look.
