This hat is perfect just the way it is. I love the even divisions of the colored rows, and that big pompon sets the whole thing off. My only issue is an old one with the authorI wish there were larger sizes posted. Still, the pattern isnt that difficult to replicate by either adding additional rows or using a larger hook. Thanks for this one!
