*This hat is a photography prop ONLY. The long tail and fluffy pom pom are a choking hazard. Responsible Adult Supervision Required.

Notes
- The pattern is written for Newborn size with 3-Month size in parentheses.

Start with magic ring.

Round 2: CH 2, 2 DC in each DC around, join. [22 (24) DC]
Round 3: CH 2, (1 DC in next, 2 DC in next) around, join. [33 (36) DC]

Round 10: CH 1, SC (HDC) in each DC around, join and fasten off. [44 SC (48 HDC)]
Tail and Assembly
Use a double strand of yarn. Leaving a 6” tail, CH 60 (or more), then fasten off leaving a 6” tail.
Use a pom pom maker, cardboard or your fingers to create a large, fluffy pom pom.
Using needle, thread one end of the tail down through the top-center of the hat and secure it to the inside. Carefully thread the other end of the tail through the center of the pom pom and tie it in a knot to secure. Put hat on baby & gently place the pom pom into desired position.
Other Suggestions…
- Work entire hat in one solid color, or try variegated or self-striping yarns.
- Make a large tassel instead of a pom pom.
- Embellish hat with buttons, flowers, bows, clips, appliqués, etc.
