And of course there’s a pom pom because they are adorable on little kids!Įasy Pom Pom Winter Hat (3 year old size) The pattern is basically the same as my Baby Bear and Apple hats, just a larger size for a giant three year old head. His coat this year is dark gray with black and blue so I picked some soft heathered gray yarn and bright blue, both leftover from other projects. It’s looking a little raggedy now though and it was getting a bit small too, so this past weekend, I made him a quick new hat to get us through at Fall and early Winter. I’ve been making hats for O since he was a tiny baby and last year we made it through the whole winter with just one hat.
