Since this is a knitting blog I'll move right to this sweet little hat pattern which is free by the way! It comes in one size: toddler/pre-schooler, but see my note below to make a larger size. I love that it's knit in fingering weight yarn which makes it extra lightweight and not too warm. I used leftovers from past projects and I always appreciate a project that can bite away, even if only a tiny bit, at my stash. My grandson loves it and looks adorable in it. I made the hat longer by doing the decrease rows every 12 rows instead of every 10.  I also made my gauge looser at 28 sts per 4" rather than 30 and was able to block it a little wider to fit my grandson's larger noggin. My stripes are 4 rows wide. I think you could make this into a teen or adult size hat by casting on an extra 12 stitches. I'm guessing because I haven't tried it, but think it would work.

I always like to make at least one Christmas craft but this year I might go a bit overboard and make three or four. I have some ideas I want to try so get ready for some Christmas craft posts. Also, my house is decorated and it looks so pretty--that means a Christmas decorating post is coming soon too!
