Peppermint Pixie Hat
This cute pixie hat is an adorable way to keep your little one’s head warm in winter weather. A ribbed edge around the face and neck keeps chilly winds from reaching little ears. This hat is knitted flat then seamed. For a warmer hat add the optional fleece lining. The ribbed chin strap attaches with Velcro for child safety. This hat is the perfect size project to knit up quickly and send as a gift!
