This elf hat is made in one piece construction with two strands of yarn and is seamless. This method is good for a variety of reasons, there is no seam where colors are changed, it takes less time since there is no cutting of yarn and weaving in of ends and it allows the ribbed edge to be done in two different colors giving it a unique twist. Color changes are also not done in the traditional way to give a seamless look. (Yarn does not travel it simply hangs until it is needed so there is very little waste, maybe 6 inches of each color total)

This pattern is made in size 6-12 months but can easily be adjusted for any size.

Any color can be used, though, the less traditional the more “trendy” it will be. 5.0mm hook
