Fair Isle Pom-Pom Hat Knitting Pattern PDF • Ratas Bobble Hat Design

RATAS Fair Isle Pom-Pom Hat is inspired by a traditional knitting motif from Hiiumaa, Estonia — the «tõllarattakiri», or carriage wheel pattern. «Ratas» means «wheel» in Estonian — a symbol of life’s rhythm, movement and continuity.

SIZE: 58–62 cm | 23–25“ circumference, 26.5 cm | 10.5” height plus pom-pom.

YARN: Any Aran (8 wpi) weight yarn. I used Nepal by DROPS Design: 1 ball (50 g | 82 yds) in Chalk (8916, MC) and 1 ball (50 g | 82 yds) in Camel (0618, CC). You will use about 44 g of each colour for the hat, and the remaining yarn will be enough for a pom-pom approximately 6.5 cm | 2.5” in diameter.

GAUGE: 10 cm × 10 cm | 4" × 4" = 17 sts × 22 rows in stockinette stitch with 4.5 mm needles.
