I'm in love with the look, texture and feel of my newest hat design, Snowdrift. This hat was designed using Lion Brand's Vanna's Choice in Colonial Blue. It uses a variety of different stitches to make this hat a real beauty to have.
If you would like to purchase the Ad-free PDF version, then it is listed in my Etsy Shop for $1.99. Here is the link:
1. The directions given will comfortably fit a 19" - 21" head circumference.
2. If you want a 4" diameter, then you will stop increase rounds after round #4.
3. If you want a 5" diameter, then you will stop increase rounds after round #5.
Materials:
--5.0mm hook
--1 skein of Vanna's Choice Lion Brand yarn in Colonial Blue (it only uses approximately 1/2 a skein)
--faux fur pompom or you can make your own (optional)
--tapestry needle for weaving
U.S. Stitch Abbreviations:
Ch: chain
Sl st: slip stitch
St: stitch(es)
Rep: repeat
Sk: skip
SC: single crochet
HDC: half double crochet
DC: double crochet
FPDC: front post double crochet
BPDC: back post double crochet
FLO: front loops only
BLO: back loops only
MR: magic ring

Special Stitches:
1. PS: Popcorn Stitch - 4 single crochet stitches into the same stitch; remove hook from last loop and insert hook (front to back) into the first of the four stitches made, then re-join hook back into the fourth stitch loop and pull through.
2. HDC Crossover: Skip first stitch and place half double crochet into the next stitch. Then, place half double crochet into the skipped stitch. Continue to repeat around.
Special Note:
1. If you work this in the round, then use a stitch marker to keep track of the beginning/ending stitches.
2. If you work this by joining a slip stitch to the first stitch at the end of each round, then you will chain 1.
Directions:
1. Create a MR. Ch1. 10 HDC into MR. (10)
2. 2 HDC st into each st around. (20)
3. 2 HDC in first st, 1 HDC in next st. Rep around. (30)

18-19. 1 SC in BLO of each st around. (70)
20-21. FPDC around the post of the first st, BPDC around the post of the next st. Rep around. (70)
At the end of Round #21, FO and weave ends.
Pompom (optional):
I added a gray, faux fur pompom to the center top of my hat by weaving yarn through the pompom and the top of my hat. Then weaved ends.
If you want to make a yarn pompom and don't have a pompom maker, then you can simply wrap yarn color of your choice around 4 of your fingers 50-60 times (or more, if so desired), use a long piece of yarn to secure a double knot at the center and then cut and trim to shape into a pompom.
And, that's it for my Snowdrift Hat!!! It has a beautiful texture, sure to keep your head/ears warm and fits great...
