Christmas Tree Hat Knitting Pattern

This Christmas Tree Hat Knitting Pattern makes a tall, pointed unisex holiday beanie for adults that looks just like a little decorated tree. Deep green stockinette tiers are divided by fluffy white stripes, a thick fluffy garter brim frames the face just like on a Santa hat, and colorful knitted bobbles sit along the branches like ornaments. A red crochet 5-point star is sewn to the very tip, and the tall pointed shape gives the beanie a playful elf hat look. It is a fun, festive hat to wear to a Christmas party, a winter market, a family photo, or on a snowy walk.

How the Christmas Tree Hat Knitting Pattern Is Made

This is a flat hat: it is knitted flat on a pair of needles, back and forth in rows, and sewn together at the end with a mattress stitch seam at the back. The tree shape comes from simple decreases worked on the fluffy rows, so the hat narrows gradually towards the point. The bobbles and the star are made separately and sewn on at the end.

The pattern is written in English.

The sample is knitted in dark green with a white fluffy yarn for the brim and stripes. The bobbles are yellow, red and green, and the star is red. Leftover bright cotton yarn works well for the decorations, so this is a nice way to use up small bits from your stash. Any solid green will work for the hat. A smooth, solid yarn shows the stripes and bobbles best, while a heavily variegated yarn will hide them.
