Are you a fan of one-hour knitting projects? Whether you are a beginning knitter or someone who just wants a quick project to make for a gift, this green knit baby hat with a pom-pom is an adorable cold-weather accessory for wee ones. See more instruction from pattern creator Stefanie Japel at Craftsy. In the video below, Japel shows each step, from how to knit each row to making the pom-pom topper. As a visual learner myself, I love that I can slow down or rewind the video to get these stitches just right.
