The contrasting colors of heather and purple in our example make the brim and the hat really pop. Add that to the single crochet stitch used on the brim, and the primrose stitch on the body of the hat, and you’ve got a piece that looks great. It also looks more complicated to make than it really is.

With yarn needle, sew a running stitch through the top portion of the last row. Draw up the top of the hat tightly and sew to secure. Next, sew the pom-pom to top of the hat.
Pom-pom:
Wrap MC and CC around fingers (about 20 times each). Leave enough of MC to wrap around the middle to secure. With scissors, cut the ends of loops. Trim if necessary to tidy up the ends.
If you'd like something a little extra fun, why not try a fun faux fur pom-pom as an alternative option.
