Belangor Angora makes the most adorable and fluffy
pom-poms! I couldn’t resist making two puffball ‘ears’ out
of one ball to attach to the top of this simple, but charming
hat.
Worked from the top down, and in the round, using 2
ends of Galler Prime Alpaca, this hat will make an animal
of you, albeit a very cute one. Soft yarn in a cozy shape,
will keep your head as warm as toast, and looking fierce!
