2. Sizes Toddler and Child are grouped together, and sizes Adult S/M and Adult Large are grouped together.
Toddler & Child
Note: Stitch counts are given in the order Toddler (Child).
Ribbing
Ch 11 (11)
Row 1: 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook and each ch across to end, turn.——–10 (10) sc
Row 2: Ch 1 (does not count as a st), 1 sc in BLO of the first st, 1 sc in the BLO of next 8 sts, 1 sc in the last st (going under both the loops like a regular sc), turn.——10 (10) sc
Repeat Row 2 until your ribbing is 15-1/2 (17) inches without stretching. Do not fasten off.
Joining the Ends of the Ribbing
Bring the beginning of your ribbing near the last row where your hook and the working yarn are. Sl st both ends together going under both loops of the stitches on the last row and the free loops on the foundation chain side.
Turn your ribbing inside out to hide the seam. Pass your yarn skein through the ribbing to bring it to the other side if needed. Any tiny gap in the ribbing seam can be closed when weaving in the beginning tail later.
Body
Note: To distribute sc sts evenly in the next round, you can use 4 markers to divide the ribbing into 4 quarters and then distribute 24, 24, 24, and 23 sts in each quarter for size Toddler and 26, 26, 26, and 27 sts in each quarter for size Child to get a total of 95 (105) sts.
Base Sc Round: Distribute 95 (105) sc sts around the ribbing, sl st to the first sc, do not turn. ——-95 (105) sc
Round 1: Ch 3 (counts as a dc), 1 dc in same st, ch 1, 2 dc in next st *(sk next 3 sts, 2dc in next st, ch 1, 2 dc in next st), repeat from * to last 3 sts, sk last 3 sts, sl st to top of beginning ch-3, turn. –——-19 (21) repeats

Repeat the above round until your hat is approximately 7 (7-1/2)inches tall from the base of the ribbing and you have completed 15 (16) dc rows in total. You must remember to turn at the end of every round until you start the crown below.
Crown
Pattern Note
All the 3 decrease rounds for shaping the crown are worked on the Right side (RS) of the hat. So the first Decrease Round will start differently based on which side of the hat you ended your previous row on.
Decrease Round 1 (If your last repeat of Round 2 ended on RS of the hat): Do not turn and continue to work on the RS of the hat, fpsc in next dc, ch 2 (this fpsc and ch 2 counts as our first fpdc), place a marker in the top of ch-2, sk the ch-1 space where we normally work a V-st, fpdc in next dc, *(sk next 2 dc, fpdc in next dc, sk the next ch-1 space, fpdc in next dc), repeat from * until 2 dc sts are left before the marked ch-2, sl st to the top of marked ch-2 which will be horizontal, DO NOT TURN.——–38 (42) fpdc
Decrease Round 1 ( If your last repeat of Round 2 ended on WS of the hat): Turn and work on the RS of the hat, sl st to the next dc, fpsc in next dc, ch 2 (this fpsc and ch 2 counts as our first fpdc), place a marker in the top of ch-2, sk the ch-1 space where we normally work a V-st, fpdc in next dc, *(sk next 2 dc, fpdc in next dc, sk the next ch-1 space, fpdc in next dc), repeat from * until 2 dc sts are left before the marked ch-2, sl st to the top of marked ch-2 which will be horizontal, DO NOT TURN.——–38 (42) fpdc

Decrease Round 3: *(1 sc in next st, sc2tog across next 2 sts), repeat from * to last 2 (1) sts, 1 sc in last 2 (1) sts, sl st to first sc, and fasten off with a 1/2-yard tail for cinching the hat. ——- 14 (15) sts
Finishing
1. Turn the beanie inside out. Thread the tail at the top through the tapestry needle, go in and out through every alternate st at the top of the crochet beanie hat, pull, and cinch the hat shut. Make a couple of knots and securely weave in the remaining tail.
2. Weave in the beginning tail along the inside of the ribbing. While doing this, remember to close any gap in the ribbing.
3. Sew a button inside the hat for anchoring your pom pom if you want to make it detachable. Now turn the hat right side and use a bigger hook to pull the elastic loop on the pom pom over the button inside. You can twist and go over the button one more time if your pom pom dangles. You can also sew the pom pom directly onto the hat using a needle and thread. Enjoy!
