The Pattern

I've used 4.5mm needles with the 2 yarns mentioned above:

Cast on 35

Row  1. Knit row
Row  2. Purl 2 tog, purl to last stitch, purl into front and knit into front of same stitch, (or increase as you desire)Row  3. KnitRow  4. Purl 2 tog, purl to last stitch, purl into front and knit into front of same stitchRow  5. KnitRow  6. Purl 2 tog, purl to last stitch, purl into front and knit into front of same stitch.

Change colourRow  7. PurlRow  8. Knit 2 tog knit to last stitch, knit into front and knit into back of same stitchRow  9.Purl
Row 10. Knit 2 tog knit to last stitch, knit into front and knit into back of same stitch.

Change colour
Continue in pattern changing colour every 6 rows or 4 rows for 7 more times per colour change or until it measures around 36 cm or so. End on a row 10. Sew up diagonals together. You dont have to be perfect here, as long it goes around your babe's head. (I don't have a babe anymore so it was a bit of a guess for me, sadly they have all grown up.)

Pick up 4 stitches per rib around 140 stitches in my case on one edge and rib knit for 7cm. Cast off neatly. Thread yarn through other end of most stitches and pull in tight and secure end. Add large pompom.
