Schoolyard Pom-pom Hat Crochet Pattern

October 4, 2016 by Bethany Dearden 7 Comments

Aren’t Septembers wonderful? We took a drive through a local canyon and the timing was perfect for seeing the beautiful fall colors. I love having the option of slippers and scarves in the evening, but also opening the windows in the afternoon and letting in the perfect warm breeze.  It reminds me of the excitement of the new school year, and how fall melts into winter. Before you know it, bundling up isn’t an option anymore but a necessity. This simple and cute Schoolyard Pom-Pom Hat is a fun, quick project and will keep your little student warm during recess and cozy while dashing to the school bus.

    Hi,
    I am a beginner at crocheting. The only stitch that I have mastered is slip stitch and double stitch and tunisian basic stitch. Is this pattern for a beginner for making this school-pom-pom-hat? I look forward hearing from you. Thanks!

    I love this Schoolyard-pom-pom hat pattern. It is very well written and easy to follow. I can just see my Grand son in this warm crocheted hat. I’ll have to make a few for the children in our family and I’m sure they will love the hat. I think Bethany Dearden does some of the best crochet patterns. Love her..
    Thank you so much for sharing this free crochet pattern.
