Classic Bubblegum Pompom Hat Crochet Pattern
What kid doesn’t love bubblegum? It comes in a variety of colours not to mention it’s super stretchiness that can be blown into a bubble multiple times, without ever becoming dull or boring.
So the other day while watching my little sister chew away, I thought to myself “Why not create a hat inspired by our childhood memories of bubblegum and the fun that comes with it?”.
What You’ll Need
Finished Size
Taking your 10.00mm crochet hook and bulky yarn, start of by making a Slip Knot, then crochet 28 Chains.
Row 1~ Chain 2. Crochet 1 Half Double Crochet into the fourth chain from your hook.
Then crochet 1 Half Double Crochet into the next 19 chains. Crochet 1 Single Crochet into the next 7 chains. You should
have 28 stitches now.
Row 2~ Crochet 1 Slip Stitch into every stitch across.
Row 3~ Chain 2. Crochet 1 Half Double Crochet into the back loop of the next 20 stitches. Crochet 1 Single Crochet into the back loop of the next 7 stitches.
Row 4~ Crochet 1 Slip Stitch into every stitch across.
Row 5~ Chain 2. Crochet 1 Half Double Crochet into the back loop of the next 20 stitches. Crochet 1 Single Crochet into the back loop of the next 7 stitches.
Row 6 – 45~ Repeat rows 4 – 5. {Note: You can either add or take away a couple sets of rows 4 – 5, depending on your head’s circumference.}
Fasten off, and weave in loose ends.
Now taking the yarn and tapestry needle, thread the yarn through the ends of the rows along the edge. {Note: Be sure to thread the yarn through the ends consisting of single crochets, not the ends with half double crochets.}
Once you’ve threaded your needle along one side, pull the yarn
tightly to gather all the edges together until the hole at the top is
closed.
Now, sew the two short sides of the hat together to complete your beanie.
Fasten off, and weave in loose ends.
Now flip up the brim of the hat 2 inches.
Then make a Pom Pom using your bulky yarn. I used a Pompom Maker, but if you don’t have one you can
easily make one using THIS video tutorial. {Note: My pompom measured 4 inches x 4 inches.}
Taking your tapestry/wool needle, attach the pom pom to the very top of your hat.
Hope you all enjoyed this basic yet fun pattern!
Olivia, are your patterns written in U.S. or U.K. Terms? I made one of your hats last night and it was so big, don't know what I did wrong. You have so many cute hat patterns I hope to use in the future.
I always crochet using US terms š
Thank you Olivia, I wonder what I did wrong? Will give it another try.
Quick question: should my slip stitch rows use only the front loops of the previous rows stitches since I am going to crochet into the back loops on the next row?
I went through both loops on my slip stitch rows.
Thank you! š
Olivia, your patterns are so cute, colorful and very trendy. I want to thank you for sharing your patterns with us.
Hello Nakia,

Where did you buy your 10.0mm hook
From Ebay š
I just finished using fuzzy yarn and it is small…will keep for a young child…guess I need to increase on all.
Another stupendous pattern. Thank you!
Hi what letter is the 10.00 hook
N or P. It depends on the manufacturer.
Beautiful pattern!
One question, do you crochet into back loop of slip stitch or back loop or single/half double crochet?
Back loops of the slip stitches. Took me awhile to get it.
Hi there, I was wondering how many yards you used for this pattern? Not sure if I need 1 or 2 skeins of yarn.
Same here ! Did u try it? How many yards did it take?
It took me 2 Aleena of the lionbrand 5pz super bulky number 6.
81 yards each. I would suggest 2 skeins if your using bulky the way it asks for
I'm a beginner what oldies chain 2 mean I see it at the beginning at every row instruction
Love it ! Just started making one today but i'm little worried one skein of yarn won't be enough ! Mine is 109 yards
How much do i need for the pattern without the pom pom?
I love this hat! I have made it a couple of times now bothe with one Pom Pom and two. Really cute. Now I need to make one for myself. New Hampshire winters are cold. Thank you for this pattern
its really nice i like it
its great really i like it
Hi Olivia, love the pattern and the colour of your hat. I’ve just started the pattern and I’m just wondering if I’ve got this correct, where you crochet a slip stitch into the last 7 stitches, is it on the same side every time? The height of the rows are lower on the one side of my hat where those stitches are. Hope that makes sense. Love from the UK
Hi Samantha, I was wondering, Did you make this hat? The 7 slip stitches, are they there for shaping the crown of the hat? Iām from the UK too. Thanks. Lyn.
Hi! Where did you buy the yarn for this hat? I love the color and it seems to be very soft. I googled lincraft veronica but couldn’t find it.
Very pretty but quite hard.
