The ornament is performed from half-woolen yarn in two colours: fushia - 100 grs and yellow - 50 grs. Knitting needles 6 and 7.
Size around head circumference 52 cm, rib density on knitting needles 6 14p. × 22 rows in a circle, the density of the “pearl” pattern on the knitting needles 7 is 12p. × 24 circular rows = 10 × 10 cm square.
Pattern "pearls": knit one, purl one. There is a displacement in the following rows - purl is knitted above the knit stitch and vice versa.

Thread pompom
In order to make a pompom on a hat, the yarn left from knitting is wound on the base. The base is cut out of thick cardboard in the form of two rectangular pieces. Holes and cuts are made according to the drawing. Rectangle height = future ball diameter + 1cm.
A piece is cut from the remaining threads from knitting, with which the strain is subsequently pulled together. This segment is inserted into the needle and fixed on cardboard rectangles, as shown in the figure.
Then the thread is wound on cardboard, in the place of the cut.
A piece with a needle, wound threads are pulled together.
In order to cut the winding, the cardboard rectangles are slightly moved apart.
The resulting workpiece is removed from the cardboard, and trimmed to form an even ball. It turns out a volume pompom.
