Little Santa Hats - Free Pattern

Are you looking for a quick crochet pattern to add a little flair to your christmas decorations? Try crocheting this Santa Hat pattern. These hats are quick to crochet and you can place them directly on your Christmas tree branches as an ornament. You can also use them as an egg cozy; the small santa hat will fit a medium egg and the large hat will fit a large or extra large egg. They also fit over the Little Star and Star Crochet pattern that I sell in my etsy shop.

The small hat will crochet to be about 2 inches (5.5 cm) tall and 1.75 inches (5.0 cm) wide. The large hat will crochet to be about 4 inches (10.2 cm) tall and 3.4 inches (8.5 cm) wide.
