Adult Bulky Beanie

It was suggested to me to make a pom pom hat, like the red infant hat.  I thought it was a fun idea, but was going to wait until the next hat season to make it.  That was until I received this in the mail:

My very own goodies!

Yep, my mom stuffed some homespun into a goody box that was for the kids.  *I* got some goodies, too.  :)  (Thanks mom!)  It was such a wonderful surprise.
Since I had some new yarn, I decided to sit down and work something up.  I decided not to put poms on this hat, but you could EASILY add them.
I LOVE how this yarn worked up.  The colors are gorgeous.  The hat itself works up really quickly and is easy to make.  This is what I came up with.
