No, I shouldn’t be “sari”, I was pretty good this year. And you’ll be great if you make this hat because the materials are 100% recycled, 100% fair trade and made by women.

This hat was designed as a re-make to the classic Santa hat. I also designed it so you can wear it after the holidays simply by making the pom-poms removable. Because this is created in a 2x2 rib there is a lot of give and take for sizing as well.

The hat wears like a slouchy tam and knits up in a jiffy. I like it because it’s chunky and cozy but doesn’t overheat my head like wool can because it is made from silk. Additionally, because the hat uses handmade, recycled materials it has a vintage look right off the needles. It’s non-traditional and classic at the same time!

Skill level: Basic
It goes together very quickly.
Please watch this little video for some info about the construction, fit and look of this wonderful Santa hat.
