This Santa Hat knitting pattern teaches you how to make Christmas holiday hats in two sizes.

Make your own Santa hat for the Christmas holiday with this knitting pattern. Begin by making the white, ribbed brim. Adding a long tube of red stockinette stitch (made with simple knit stitches) will allow your hat to slouch. Then, you will begin slowly decreasing the top of the hat until it comes to a closing point.

When you are finished knitting, you will add a pom-pom at the top of the hat. Make your own with white yarn. Or, add premade pom-pom; I love this hat with a topper of white faux fur. This hat is designed with Caron Simply Soft yarn, but you can substitute almost any brand of worsted-weight yarn.

This PDF knitting pattern walks you through making a hat with clear, row by row instructions for one-size-fits-most and baby sizes.
