Eugenia Kim Rain Beanie [knitting pattern]

I really love this Eugenia Kim hat so I made a knitting pattern inspired by the design. The combination of the basic hat and the colorful pom pom is so cute! I don’t wear real fur so I wanted to re-create the Fox pom pom using yarn.

To make the Pom Pom:

[Left- Wrap the blue yarn around your pom pom maker first and finish with the orange. Right- To give the pom pom a furry texture, lightly brush it out using a fine tooth comb. Tip- Hold the pom pom tightly in the middle with one hand to prevent the stands of yarn from falling out]
