Santa’s Belt Buckle Hat Baby Knitting Pattern

There’s just something about babies in Christmas hats that brings a smile to everyone’s face! Instead of doing the traditional stocking hat I thought it would be cute to make one with Santa’s belt buckle. This knitting pattern is very easy and it only takes a few hours to make this hat. Perfect for the busy holidays! 
     This knitting pattern features a black stripe and a gold buckle that’s chain stitch using a crochet hook and sewn on afterwards. It’s topped off with a big, fluffy pom pom. 
     Be sure to check back frequently in the upcoming weeks. I have a bunch of fun, holiday-themed knitting patterns, DIYs and recipes planned!

With the red yarn, cast on 32 (34) sts. Purl the first 4 rows. Knit in the round for 5 rows. Switch to black yarn and knit 3 rows. Switch back to the red yarn and knit until measures 6 1/2 (7) inches from the cast on edge. 
To decrease
Knit 2 stitches together until you are left with 6 sts. Break the yarn and thread through remaining stitches. Pull to tighten.
Make pom pom using the Homespun yarn. Here is my Perfect Pom Pom Tutorial if you need it.
