I love them so much I actually have 3 of them. DH asked what I'd like for Christmas and I said I'd maybe like one in navy. He then tells me he actually doesn't like my big pom pom wooly hats and said they are made for people in their teens. What do you think?

Ooh the sparkly pom pom sounds lovely

Here it is Lemongrove, I must say the hat looks so lonely without it’s huge fluffy Pom Pom on top

Adorable! I would just sit with it in the palm of my hand (like a hamster to cuddle.)

Thank you MissAdventure I'll definitely say hello to people when I'm out with Craig.

Oooh. Bobble!

Next time you and Craig are out, if you see anyone in a bubble hat, say helloo!
It may well be another gransnetter. smile
This has been a lovely cheery thread. Thank you.

Don't worry I love my dog Craig more than I love my hats grin

I have a cosy cream bobble hat.
Actually it’s dual purpose. When not being worn it’s a very effective tea cosy!
If you like your bobble hats that’s great.
To yourself be true.
Don’t let people spoil your pleasure.
Good luck and enjoy!

Yes Willow I'm not so keen on his bow tie collection but I don't have the heart to tell him because he loves those bow ties more than our dog.

That is shocking! I hope you love your bobble hats more than you love him! shock

Your dog lovers bow ties?

Maybe a hat with a bow tie around it would meet with their approval?

Is there something he wears that you don't like? If so then tell him and I bet he'll still wear it, so why shouldn't you wear your hats after all you need to keep warm and to be honest there is not much other choice of hats in the shops.

The hats became popular a few years ago and lots of children, teens & young women wore them. I cannot wear that style so , though I liked them on other people, was not tempted for me. Of you like them, suit tgem and enjoy wearing then ...no problem!

I have a grey knitted beret type hat with a small pompom on it. I call it my "Railway Children" hat - because one of the children wears a similar one in the film. grin

I bought a beautiful blue one this weekend and I love it and wore it out today.

Shizam Sun 25-Oct-20 20:22:16

I’m a proud pom-pom hat-wearer. Cheerful and stops hood of coat going into my face. Functional and fun!

Marydoll Sun 25-Oct-20 20:11:47

Borrheid, I hated that hat. I had a big head and it looked ridiculous on me!
I once threw it up in the air and it landed on the gym hall roof! I was terrified what the nuns would say!

Borrheid55 Sun 25-Oct-20 19:58:44

I love hats! We (*Marydoll*) had school hats, I think thats why. I have tweed hats, just bought a Perth felt hat , a panama for summer and ... pompom hats! A friend gave me one last Christmas with foxes on it ( I’m Mrs Fox) and i have a plain navy one. Whatever the weather, I can wear a hat!

My daughter has one and looks lovely in it. I decided to try one on and looked a total idiot. I then decided they are for the young.

chrissy08 Sun 25-Oct-20 18:34:50

I wear them all the time.

Pudding123 Sun 25-Oct-20 17:52:08

I am 66 and have 3,I love them and they suit me,plus if I haven't washed my hair I look presentable when I am on my walk.

Florida12 Sun 25-Oct-20 17:42:52

Aww as long as you like them and they keep you warm, enjoy.
I go through different phases of bobble, beanie, oversized slouch.x
