Make a cozy striped stocking cap just in time for the holidays! Me and The Tree is a festive hat for you and a matching little ornament for your tree. It’ll be the prettiest knit at your next ugly sweater party.

Who it’s for: Level 2, Finding Your Rhythm. If you’ve finished a few hats and can read your knitting, you’re ready. You’ll work stripes in the round on a circular needle and double-pointed needles, then make pom-poms for the hat and ornament. Stuck? Our Knitting Knowledge tutorials are here to help.
