[knitting] Cupcake Hat

Using some of the leftover super-bulky yarn from the pillow covers, I whipped up a hat:

Pattern: Cupcake by DROPS design

Yarn: Encore Mega, 1.5 balls

Needles: US 11

Made the L/XL size. Perfect fit for my big head. Made the pompom using my Clover XL pompom maker in 3 minutes flat. Too bad I can't wear the hat inside my car- there isn't enough clearance above my head to accommodate the grapefruit-sized pompom. But this hat is definitely a keeper for me. 

I'm tempted to order a slew faux fur pom poms to add to hats.
