Make your Christmas extra special with this Santa Claus hat, perfect for festive knitting!

The Santa Claus hat is worked flat, forming a triangular shape through stitch increases, and is completed by seaming the edges. Due to the design, the tip of the hat has very few stitches, making it challenging to knit in the round without using double-pointed needles. For this reason, the pattern is designed for flat knitting.

The pattern includes two sizes: Adult and Kids. However, you can easily adjust the circumference and length by modifying the number of increase row repetitions to suit your desired size.
