The White Frost Beanie (in gray) with pompom is complete!
Pompom Switcheroo
You maaaay have noticed that the pompom is a different one from the one I had originally decided on 😁
The original pompom seemed a bit too large for this beanie, so I opted for another pompom from my stash! This black one was actually stolen from a store-bought hat whose pompom I had cut off a while ago. It’s just a basic yarn pompom, as opposed to the fancy faux fur one from before. This one was a lot lighter, so it matched the weight of the beanie better. The combination of the gray and black also seems to work out well. Worked out pretty nicely in that I got to use up an old bit sitting around in my stash!
I’m planning on using the other (nicer) faux fur pompom for a second copy of the hat (stay tuned 🤫).
Final Thoughts
One thing I have to say about this project was that the pattern was very nicely written.
I think back on the fact that it’s a wrap-around cable pattern done in-the-round, so it can get weird where the rounds begin. But this pattern accounted for it pretty well and adequately explained how to handle the cables crossing over the round starts.
I’ll be back soon with my next project… 😏
