Wild
Christmas Hat

If you are feeling festive and you have a stash of tiny yarn skeins then these Wild Christmas Hat ornaments are the perfect little project.

Each hat takes about 45 minutes to knit. If you fancy, you can personalise the ornament by embroidering someone’s name on the brim before folding it. Best of all though, the entire hat is worked flat.

Now heat up the mulled wine, put on your favourite festive film and get cosy knitting up your own Wild Christmas Hat.
