DIY Hat and Glove Knitting Pattern. This listing is for a downloadable PDF file containing a do-it-yourself knitting pattern.
Included are complete instructions for most sizes: One-Size-Fits-Most and Baby Santa Hats and One-Size-Fits-Most, Little Kid, and Baby Santa Gloves.
Make your own Santa hats for the Christmas holiday with this knitting pattern. Begin by making the white, ribbed brim. Adding a long tube of red stockinette stitch (made with simple knit stitches) will allow your hat to slouch. Then, you will begin slowly decreasing the top of the hat until it comes to a closing point.
When you are finished knitting, you will add a pom-pom at the top of the hat. Make your own with white yarn. Or, add premade pom-pom; I love this hat with a topper of white faux fur.
Then, make a matching set of gloves. Fingerless mitts let you stay cozy for the holiday, while still being able to use your fingers for those small tasks.
These hats and gloves are worked in the round from the bottom up.
This patterns can be knit in the round in three different ways. Instructions are included for double point needles, the magic loop, and shorter circular needles. Pick your favorite method to knit in the round, then follow the instructions that match your chosen needles.
I used Caron Simply Soft for the design, but you can substitute any worsted weight yarn in this pattern. For this pattern, I recommend using a yarn made of acrylic, wool, or a combination of the two. Malabrigo Rios is a great yarn to use in this pattern, if you prefer wool. Make sure you check your gauge when substituting yarn.
