Grinch Santa Hat Finger Knitting Pattern

This Grinch Santa Hat Finger Knitting Pattern shows the grumpy yet cute Christmas character from Dr. Seuss in a cheerful little portrait. His green face wears a sly grin, yellow eyes peek out under frowning brows, and a red Santa hat with a white cuff and pom-pom sits on top against a clean white background. With just 18 loops across, this small festive holiday throw makes a friendly first colorwork piece for beginners ready to try color changes. You knit it loop by loop from a simple graph chart into a soft graphghan sized for your lap.

The Grinch Santa Hat Finger Knitting Pattern uses five colors, with Green and Red carrying the bold shapes while Black, Yellow and White add the outline, the eyes and the hat trim. Chunky loops give the graphic a pixel-style look, and in chenille jumbo yarn the knit throw comes out plush and soft, a fun handmade gift for anyone who loves this green holiday grump.

Finger knitting with colorwork means working the design row by row, changing colors as you go to build up the pixel-style graphic. The Grinch Santa Hat Finger Knitting Pattern is knitted in stockinette stitch, and you can follow the colorwork chart, the row-by-row written instructions, or the color blocks – whichever feels most comfortable for you.

What’s Inside the Grinch Santa Hat Finger Knitting Pattern

The Grinch Santa Hat Finger Knitting Pattern includes a colorwork graph chart with gridlines every 10 loops, row-by-row written instructions, and color block guidance. Everything comes in one printable PDF, so you can follow it on your phone or tablet, or print the pages you need.

Directional arrows in the written instructions and color blocks show which way each row goes, so the design never comes out mirrored. When you start a new row, always read it from left to right, and remember that the cast-on row is your foundation row and is not counted. Check your gauge before you begin, since your tension decides the final size. Colors change often, but the small 18-loop width keeps it manageable for a beginner.

Color palette used in this design (5 colors): White, Green, Red, Black, and Yellow.
