Christmas hat

Christmas hat with red and white stripes

I always wanted a Christmas hat for me or for my son with red and white stripes. In my opinion it looks better than a red one with a white border. But this is my opinion.

I knitted this hat a few years back and my son got to wear it for a 3 years. It was a little big in the first year, but then it got to be perfect.

Materials:

-          100g red yarn

-          100g white yarn

-          Knitted needles

-          Pom-pom made from the red yarn

Directions:

I can’t tell you exactly the size for the needles or the type the yarn is because I don’t have the information, but you can try with your yarn and see exactly what you need.

Cast 60 stitches.

Make 4 rows:  k2,p2,k2,p2…
