POMME DE PIN hat

Introducing the *POMME DE PIN (pine cone) hat*, the ultimate accessory for chilly weather! This cozy hat features a thoughtfully designed ribbed edge that consists of double thickness to ensure your ears stay warm and toasty while you embrace the great outdoors. The knitting pattern is beginner-friendly, making it easy for anyone to create their own version of this stylish piece. Available in several sizes—Child (2-4 years), Child (4-8 years), Woman, and Man—this hat is perfect for the whole family, ensuring everyone stays fashionable and comfortable during the winter months.

The *POMME DE PIN* hat is not only practical but also visually appealing, showcasing a lovely texture that adds charm to any outfit. For the double thickness ribbing, I provide three different casting methods: one simple technique for beginners using a regular cast on, while the other two methods employ a provisional cast on for those looking to challenge their skills and add versatility to their knitting repertoire.
