| Description | The Bobble Hat: Playful, Bold, and Bursting with Joy Introducing the Bobble Hat! Inspired by the magic of assigned pooling and the vibrant hues of The Lemonade Shop's Classic DK, this beanie is a great mix of whimsy and style. Designed with a close-fitting silhouette and just the right amount of negative ease, the Bobble Hat is cozy enough for the chilliest commutes and chic enough for après-ski selfies. Add a pom-pom for extra flair—or keep it sleek for a minimalist vibe. This pattern does require yarns that are specially dyed for assigned pooling. See photos for an example. I have listed some companies below that make suitable yarns:
