This funky 1980s inspired Christmas hat is perfect if you’re feeling festive but looking for something a bit different.

It can be worked in three sizes, suitable for older children and adults, and in two depths depending on whether you want a tighter fitting or slouchy hat. The pattern has small skill-stretching sections of colourwork using three colours.
