A bit of charm and cheer for winter days, Tomte is a peaked hat worked seamlessly from the bottom up. A quick project for the confident knitter and a perfect introduction to more advanced shaping for the beginner, this pattern uses short rows to shape the earflaps and decorative decreases through the crown.

The finished hat will have a circumference of 12 (13, 14, 15, 16, 18) 19½” at the brim with an intended negative ease of 2-4”

This pattern has been test knit.
