It’s hard to believe that Christmas is less than 8 weeks away! This is my first Christmas themed crochet pattern and I’m really excited about the many other pattern ideas I am working on.

Customize your Santa hat! Use your choice of skin color, include or leave off the rosy cheeks, and/or change the color of the “hat” and “brim”. The possibilities are endless! Please tag me on Instagram lovable_loops if you make your own! I would love to see your unique creations!
