Update: upon request, instruction for Size Preemie have been added on May 7, 2022.

Greetings Knitters! My projects for this year’s holiday season will mainly be headwear, as I’m trying to post as many of them as I can before the end of the year. My first design is this hat, which has a fair isle white angel and snowflakes pattern that me and my daughter came up with, using white, green, and red yarn. It is simple and easy to make, and should suits most adult head sizes, hopefully. You will notice that I have included two angle pattern charts to accommodate the difference in hat sizes. If you wish to make this hat for your little ones, please let me know, and if there is enough interest, I’ll work on making a smaller angel pattern with instructions.
