Directions:  
 

Pom Pom:
 

Rnd 1: ch4 leaving a 6" inch tail, sl st in 4th chain from hook to form ring, ch1, 6 sc in ring crocheting over tail, join with slst to front loop only of first sc. (6sc)
Pull tail taut. 
 

Rnd 2: Ch4, sl st in same front loop as joining slst, [ch4, slst in front loop of next st, ch4, slst in front loop of same st] Do this 5 times, ch4, sl st in joining slst of Rnd1, slst into first back loop left unworked (from working rnd2 in front loops only) (this will set you up for next round) (12-ch4 loops)
 

Rnd 3: Ch1, (folding/working behind ch4 loops) 2 sc in each back loop around, join with slst to front loop of first sc.  (12sc)
 

Rnd 4: Ch4, slst in same front loop as joining, [ch4, sl st in front loop of next st, ch4, sl st in front loop of same st] Do this 11 times, ch4, slst in joining sl st of Rnd3, slst into first back loop left unworked. (24-ch4 loops)
 

Rnd 5: Ch1, (folding/working behind ch4 loops) 1 sc in same back loop, 2 sc in next back loop, [ 1sc in next back loop, 2 sc in next back loop] Do this 5 times, join with slst to front loop of first sc) (18sc)
 

Rnd 6: Ch4, slst in same front loop, [ ch4, slst in front loop of next st, ch4, slst in front loop of same st] Do this 17 times, ch4, slst in joining slst of Rnd5, slst in first back loop left unworked . (36-ch4 loops)
 

Rnd 7: Ch1, (folding/working behind ch4 loops) 1 sc in each back loop around, join with slst to front loop only of first sc. (18sc)
 

Rnd 8: Ch4, slst in same front loop, [ ch4, slst in front loop of next st, ch4, slst in front loop of same st] Do this 17 times, ch4, slst in joining slst of Rnd7, slst in first back loop left unworked . (36-ch4 loops)
 

Rnd 9: Ch1, (folding/working behind ch4 loops) 1 sc in each back loop around, join with slst to front loop only of first sc. (18sc)
 

Rnd 10: Ch4, slst in same front loop, [ ch4, slst in front loop of next st, ch4, slst in front loop of same st] Do this 17 times, ch4, slst in joining slst of Rnd9, slst in first back loop left unworked . (36-Ch4 loops)
 

Rnd 11: Ch1, (folding/working behind ch4 loops) 1 sc in same back loop,  sc decrease next 2 back loops together, [1 sc in next back loop, sc decrease next 2 back loops together] do this 5 times, join with slst to front loop only of first sc. (12sts)
 

Rnd 12: Ch4, slst in same front loop, [ch4, slst in front loop of next st, ch4, slst in front loop of same st] do this 11 times, ch4, slst in joining slst of Rnd11, slst in first unworked back loop. (24-ch4 loops)
 

Rnd 13: Ch1, sc decrease first 2 back loops together, [sc decrease next 2 back loops together] do this 5 times, join with slst to front loop of first sc. (6sts)
 

Rnd 14: Ch4, slst in same front loop, [Ch4, slst in front loop of next st, ch4, slst in front loop of same st] do this 5 times, ch4, slst in joining slst of Rnd13, slst in first unworked back loop.  (12-ch4 loops)
 

Hat part:
 

Rnd 15: Ch1, 1 sc in each back loop around. Do not join with slst. (6sc)

Note: From this point on you will work in a continuous spiral and will need to mark the first st at the beginning of each round, moving stitch marker up as you go along.  
 

Rnd 16: 2 sc in each st around. (12sc)
 

Rnd 17: [1sc in next st, 2 sc in next st] Do this 6 times (18sc)

Rnd 19: [1 sc in each of the next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st] do this 6 times. (30sc)
 

Rnd 20: [1 sc in each of the next 4 sts, 2 sc in next st] do this 6 times. (36sc)
 

Rnd 21: [1 sc in each of the next 5 sts, 2 sc in next st] do this 6 times. (42sc)
 

Rnd 22: [1 sc in each of the next 6 sts, 2 sc in next st] do this 6 times. (48sc)
 

Rnd 23: [1 sc in each of the next 7 sts, 2 sc in next st] Do this 6 times. (54sc)
 

Rnd 24: [1 sc in each of the next 8 sts, 2 sc in next st] do this 6 times. (60sc)
 

Rnd 25: [1 sc in each of the next 9 sts, 2 sc in next st] do this 6 times. (66sc)
 

Rnd 26: 1 sc in each of the next 66 sts. (66sc)

Rnds 27-37: Repeat Rnd26 for Rnds 27 thru 37. (66sc)

Rnd 38: 1 sc in each of the next 66 sts, slst in next st. (66sc)
 

Note: From this Rnd on (Rnd39) you will join rnds with a slipstitch.
 

Rnd 39: Ch1, Bphdc around post of same sc you slst into. 1 Fphdc around post of next st, [1 Bphdc around post of next st, 1 Fphdc around post of next st] do this 32 times, join with slst to first Bphdc. (33 Bphdc, 33 Fphdc)
 

Rnd 40: Ch1, 1 Bphdc around post of first Bphdc, 1 Fphdc around post of first Fphdc, [1 Bphdc around post of next Bphdc, 1 Fphdc around post of next Fphdc] Do this 32 times, join with slst to first Bphdc of rnd. (33 Bphdc, 33 Fphdc)
 

Rnds 41 and 42: Repeat Rnd40 for Rnds 41 and 42. (33 Bphdc, 33 Fphdc)
 

Rnd 43: Ch1, 1 Bpsc around post of first Bphdc, Fpsc around post of first fphdc, [1 Bpsc around post of next Bphdc, i Fpsc around post of next Fphdc] Do this 32 times, join with to first Bpsc of rnd.  (33 Bpsc, 33 Fpsc)

Finish off and weave in ends.
