This holiday hat has presents, trees and candy cane stripes knit in festive red, green and white. I’m excited to start rocking this for the Christmas season (after Thanksgiving, of course), and hope you can enjoy making some fun hats, too!

The unicorn hat features a parade of unicorns. Since I like to avoid colorwork with three strands, I used the double stitch technique to embroider the horns on after finishing the hat.

This hat is a fun mixture of Scottish terriers, paw prints and stranded design elements, making it a bright, warm hat that should be treasured by any dog owner.

This pattern features a ring of saddled llamas and some stranded details, making it an adorable finished product knit in two colors. Besides the full set of instructions and knitting chart, I also include some recommendations for customizing the hat’s brim, colors, etc.
