Radiant Orchid Pom Hat
Pom poms are one of the hottest trends in crochet. This playful little accent is a wonderful way to add some spunk to any of your crochet patterns, such as this crocheted hat. The Radiant Orchid Pom Hat is both trendy and functional. It's an intermediate crochet pattern that is created by following an unexpected crochet stitch pattern. The faux fur pom pom is sewn on at the end, so you can always leave it off if you prefer a more basic beanie.
