The Ponytail Hat is done!!

Pattern: My own made hat (88 stitch count)

Yarn: TreasureGoddess Yarn Treasured Warmth Worsted in Gunpowder

Needles: US 8s

I ended up with 4 inches of ribbing to start and then 6 inches of hat body and finished with 1.5 inches of ponytail opening ribbing. I didn’t know how high or what part of her head that her ponytail would sit so I decided to leave an opening that flexible and could support a messy bun.

I did decrease down from the 88 stitches in the body to 72 for the ribbing and then took out a final 16 stiches in the second to last row to shrink down that opening. I think the hat fits and works quite well. I should have done more ribbing as I don’t think its long enough to fold and still accommodate any decent size of ponytail. Though not bad for my first try!

Happy Knitting!!
