This is my winter season gift to Ravelry members.

A beanie featuring Santa Claus and three of his reindeer, flying through a snowy night as a bear and a fox roam among the trees and snowmen.

Knitted in the round this is an easy pattern if you already know how to knit stranded colorwork and this pattern assumes that you do know how to knit stranded colorwork. If you have not knitted stranded colorwork before then this is an experienced level pattern.
