Easy Chunky Double Seed Stitch Hat With Optional Pom-pom

"We all need a quick and easy hat pattern—especially as the colder months roll in—and this hat is just the thing. The double seed stitch creates beautiful texture that gives the hat a classic, timeless look suitable for almost any occasion. Whether you're running errands, heading out for a walk, or just want to stay cozy indoors, this hat keeps you warm and comfortable in style. This warm winter hat is worked in a slightly slouchy fit, but if slouch hats aren’t your style, you can easily fold up the brim to turn it into a beanie—just be sure to decide before adding the button tab detail. Designed in adult size, this is a go-to pattern for anyone looking for a fast, fashionable cold-weather project. "
