BENNO Hat

**Create a Cozy Pompom Hat with a Classic 2/2 Rib Pattern - A Unisex Design Perfect for All!**

This stylish and simple pompom hat, featuring a versatile 2/2 rib pattern, is designed for both women and men, ensuring it keeps everyone warm during chilly days. Its unique double brim adds an extra layer of comfort and insulation, making it a must-have accessory for your winter wardrobe.

The hat is crafted from the bottom up in rounds, utilizing a short circular needle. A provisional cast-on technique is employed for creating the double brim, allowing for a seamless finish. This method will let you fold and secure the brim by knitting the stitches together—resulting in a polished look. As you reach the crown, decreases are worked using double pointed needles (dpns), shaping the hat perfectly to fit your head.
