Christmas Tree Hat Pattern
I wanted to design a Christmas tree hat knitting pattern that was fun and whimsical, so I came up with this idea for an embellished Christmas tree hat!
This is the perfect accessory for holiday pictures, wearing to Christmas parties and to visit relatives for cuddles.
The Christmas tree hat pattern is easy to make, knitting in the round on circular needles.
This means that there is no seaming needed, you just have to stitch in any loose ends when you are finished.
You will need a set of pom pom makers to make the poms or if you are going for the traditional method with cardboard circles or a fork there are many tutorials on Youtube.
I used clover pom pom makers in the following sizes;
- Clover pom maker – 2 1/2 inch for the large pom
- Clover pom maker – 3/4 inch – for the mini poms
Baby Christmas Hat
The baby Christmas hat knitting pattern is great for any beginners who are learning how to knit, as it is a quick project and great for stash busting.
Any yarns you have leftover from other projects can be used up for the mini pom poms.
They can be quite fiddly to make, as they are so small and the yarn tends to fall out, so make sure you tie them tight and use some sort of acrylic yarn or wool/acrylic blend.
I used leftover yarns for the poms in red, green, gold and white.
I stitched them on randomly, spacing out the colours, you could add more or less.
