Knit your little one a Santa hat for Christmas

Didn't have a chance to make the Thanksgiving turkey hat for your infant/ niece/ nephew/ grandchild? Well, you've got just under 2 weeks to make up for it by knitting her or him this adorable Santa hat.

Debbie at The Shrinking Knitter, has created an easy-to-follow pattern to for a hat that fits a 6 month-old. Again, if you know your way around a knitting pattern, it'll be no problem at all to size it up or down to fit the wee one in your life.

The pattern calls for red worsted weight yarn and white fun fur. This is one of the very rare instances where fun fur can be used in a way that's not totally frightening. Jump on it people, this opportunity might never come your way again.
