10 Christmas Baby Hat Knitting Patterns
It was nearly twenty years ago but I remember it like yesterday. I woke up Christmas morning and decided my 1 year-old baby girl needed a Christmas hat.
I dug through my stash, whipped up a green hat for her and topped it with a big red pom pom. In about an hour the hat was done and on her head in time for opening presents.
We had lots of people to see that day…my parents, my in-laws, and some close friends. All of them ooo’d and aaah at how adorable she looked in her Christmas hat.
I hope you create the same wonderful memories with your little ones!
You may be a mom, grandma, aunt, sister, cousin, or friend…knit a sweet holiday hat for your favorite little one.
So that you don’t wait until the last minute like I did, I rounded up 10 incredibly adorable baby hats that you can knit for them to wear on Christmas.
