It was so simple once knitted that I thought it needed a pompom. I did not have enough of yarn left to make a really chunky pompom. I used different shades of brown yarn to make a stripy pompom. The tutorial is published here. Even Mr MiH agreed that the pompom really added interest to the beanie hat, and usually he has no strong opinion about my knitting...
Pattern: Mock Rib Watch Cap (free pattern on Ravelry)
Yarn: Cascade Eco-Cloud in Bunny (#1804) bought here
Needles: Circular and DPNs 5.5mm
Modification: Added a pompom. I wrote a tutorial if you want
to make your own chunky stripy pompom.
Result: A soft beanie hat that fits very well (thanks to the stretchiness
of the yarn, you don't have to worry too much about the gauge).

It is easy and quick to knit, you don't have to change the pattern, perfect for a summer knitting project when you are in the middle of a heatwave and the last thing you want to make is a beanie hat.
So how many of these am I going to make... I am thinking red. Which colour would you choose?
