This adorable Rainbow Stripe Double Pom Hat Knitting Pattern is a fun colorful knit for anyone from newborn, to kid to adult!
I don’t think I will every get tired of adding white fluffy pom poms as clouds on rainbow knitting patterns. This Rainbow Stripe Double Pom Hat Knitting Pattern is no exception. I like this knitting pattern because of the big bold rainbow stripes.
The other advantage of this cute hat knitting pattern is that it is knit entirely in the round on circular knitting needles. No decrease section, no double pointed knitting needles required. I know that’s a big bonus for a lot of people!
And don’t forget for this pattern and moving forward, when possible I am including instructions for six sizes from newborn to adult large. If you want more info, read my hat knitting pattern sizing guide.
I kinda think I might knit one of these for myself next! I do have to say, a double pom hat like this is really fun for kids and toddlers because the pom poms bounce around when they run. It’s truly adorable.
This super easy hat knitting pattern is knit in the round using only circular knitting needles and worsted weight yarn. You will need light blue, white and then 6 rainbow colors of your choosing. I went with a pastel rainbow for my sample, but bright rainbow colors would also be great!
