Knit this adorable hat for a quick and satisfying project. The resulting children’s hat is both playful and comfortable. I thought some needle felted antlers would be a good alternative to the complex knitted antlers you may find on other similar hats. The needle felted antlers are super sturdy and very light, so they stick up on their own and always hold their shape. For those of you who are new to needle felting, it is a super easy technique that you will want to use and incorporate into your knitting time and again! All you will need to complete the antlers is a foam block, a felting needle, and one ounce of tan-colored roving. This hat can easily be Knitted in a day, and it often becomes the hat children reach for first! The finished hat fits children ages 5-12.
