Kid’s Holiday Hat Knitting Pattern- a cozy and festive hat topped with a fun pom-pom!

I’m so excited to start rolling out my holiday knitting patterns! One of the things I love about Christmas if how unapologetically cheerful and over-the-top it is! The holiday spirit is infectious and people just seem friendlier this time of year. Christmas-themed hats are one of my favorite things to knit, especially for kids. This Kid’s Holiday Hat Knitting Pattern is both festive and practical. It features a ribbed brim and the rest is knit in the round. The finishing touch, of course, is the large, multi-color pom-pom.
