http://inahappycamper.eponym.com/blog This design is not quite my original. I have adapted this pattern from a vintage knitting and crochet booklet that I collected years ago called “Hats, Hats, Hats" Star Book No. 168 by American Thread Co. (there is no copyright or date that I can find). I made the original for my husband in a yarn substitute with a larger gauge (but without a pompon) and it turned out huge. Since there was the need for hats at a local Children's Hospital I decided to bring the scale down and make it bright and fun.
