Christmas Lily Hat

 

Hello friends! I tend to share at least one Christmas themed pattern around this time of every year, matter of fact, I am in the middle of finalizing one at the moment. But I took a small break from that to share this pattern with you upon a request I received recently about a pattern from a couple of years ago. A nice lady had asked about my Christmas Lotus Hat, of which I had originally made two versions, but only posted the instructions for one. I promised her to make a new post for the second version, and here am fulfilling my promise. Instructions are available for three sizes: small, suitable for 8-12 year-old children, while medium and large can fit teens and adults. Feel free to choose your own color combo, but don’t forget to top it off with a colorful pompom. You can check out my previous designs for Christmas below. Happy Holidays everyone!
