CROCHET BIG POM BEANIE
The weather is officially getting colder and we are approaching towards winter ( it has even started snowing in some parts of the world)! So it's definitely beanie season! Last year I made the
so this year I went for something completely different! I used a chunky acrylic and wool blend in black and grey to make my Big Pom Beanie and a 9mm (M/13) crochet hook! It's actually the first time I'm crocheting with such a soft (oh the softness) yet chunky yarn! I love the feeling!:) I alos added a big pom pom on top to make it cuter and more stylish!:)
The beanie measures 45cm (18inc) in circumference and it's length is 28cm (11inc) with the pom pom. You might find the size a bit small but due to the chunky yarn it's ok!
