What started as a joke (pom de mer - pompom of the sea) turned into Pomme de Mer, a hat with a slip-stitch pattern resembling the textured carapace of a sea urchin (the actual meaning of the phrase) that just happens to be topped with a pompom. This DK-weight hat is fun to knit and cozy to wear, even if you’re nowhere near the sea.
