Elf Hat Knitting Pattern
One of my favorite holiday traditions is watching the movie “Elf”. Watching the movie made me realize I hadn’t made an Elf Hat knitting pattern yet! I wanted to make a version that wasn’t too Christmas-y, so it could be worn after the holidays.
I knitted this hat in an evening…gotta love huge needles and Thick & Quick yarn! This is an easy project and it’s perfect for holiday photos!
