Like traditional Fair Isle? Want a Santa hat? Winner winner!

A pretty colour-work pattern band that effortlessly goes into the classic Father Christmas point, ready for a fur pom pom or traditional wool pom. It’s a great piece to use up scraps of yarn of a similar weight.

Knitted in rounds of 20st so you could knit for a child, woman or man. A flexible hat with full start to finish instructions!

For M size I used approx. 50g = 112m of UK Alpaca Superfine DK, for the rib. Then using DROPS Nepal for rest; 50g for the main colour, 15g for green and white, 10g for red, orange and yellow. I include this in metres in the pattern too.

Also see my other Santa hats; all are knitted in 16/20st’s so you can mix ‘n’ match the rib/body patterns.
