Pom-pom beanies – types, how to choose and how to care for them
All about pom-pom beanies – types of pom-pom, knits, how to choose a model and how to care for the pom-pom. From the manufacturer, Kaldarma Hat Factory.
The pom-pom beanie is perhaps the most recognisable winter hat. It is warm, cheerful and suits every age – from young children to adults. At Kaldarma Hat Factory in Montana, pom-pom hats are among our most popular models every winter. Here is what is worth knowing when you choose one.
Types of pom-pom
Yarn pom-pom
The classic pom-pom, made from the same or a contrasting yarn. It is light, washes together with the hat and looks good on all kinds of knitted models.
Faux fur pom-pom
Fluffy, voluminous and very striking. A faux fur pom-pom gives a modern look to even the simplest knitted hat. It is often made in a colour that contrasts with the hat – for example, a grey pom-pom on a black hat or a white one on a pink hat.
Two pom-poms
Two small pom-poms on the sides of the hat, like little “ears”. Especially popular on kids’ hats and teen models.
Pom-poms on ties
On hats with ear flaps, the pom-poms often hang from knitted ties. For young children, it is better to choose a model without long ties.
How to choose a pom-pom beanie
- Proportions. A large pom-pom looks good on longer, slouchy hats; a smaller one on close-fitting models.
- Colour. A pom-pom in a contrasting colour makes the hat more striking; tone on tone is more classic.
- Knit. Hats with a chunky cable knit look especially cosy with a large pom-pom.
- Size. The hat should cover the ears – see our hat size guide.
How to care for the pom-pom
- Washing. Wash the hat by hand or on a delicate programme at a low temperature. If the pom-pom is faux fur, check the label – sometimes it is better to wash it separately.
- Drying. Squeeze gently without twisting and leave the hat to dry flat. Then shake out the pom-pom so it regains its volume.
- Brushing. A faux fur pom-pom can be gently brushed with a wide-toothed brush once it is dry.
