Cherry Rascal

I love this hat because it works up really quickly and is a great gift for the men and women in my life. It starts with a twisted 1x1 rib and moves into a stitch pattern that is mostly stockinette stitch but has two fun little rows every now and then which create the ridge details you see. Top with it with a pom-pom, the larger the better in my opinion.
