The presents are wrapped and Santa is ready to go. Let’s get to the sleigh and have Rudolf lead the way!

The Head to the Sleigh! hat is an adorable take on Santa’s reindeer. This stranded colorwork Christmas hat knitting pattern uses three colors of Ewe So Sporty yarn to create a whimsical holiday cap that everyone will love. Knit it for kids or adults, with a pom-pom on top and a little red nose if you like.

Make the matching sweater! The hat coordinates with the Reindeer Sweater, a seamless top-down colorwork yoke sweater in 11 sizes, knit in the same three colors.
