I designed this x-mass hat during hot summer day. I had several copies on pieces of paper around the house. Finally today is the Day I am going to share it with you.

We have couple days left to Christmas and this is a super easy and fast project for anyone. This free pattern is available in two different baby sizes (preemie – 2 months) but if you read useful tips you can make whatever size you need. So let´s start:
