Elf hat pattern

Every child should have a knitted pixie hood – a cute gnome hat with ties. With this elf hat pattern, you can easily create this adorable children’s hat. Perfect for beginners, the bonnet is worked flat using only simple knit and purl stitches, making it a quick and relaxing project. It’s a charming, gender-neutral gift idea for little boys and girls.

For a complete handknitted set, you can also knit matching leg warmers or a slipover.

To knit this pixie hat, you only need to know the basics: knit and purl stitches, how to bind off, and how to sew stitches together. Alternatively, you can use a three-needle bind-off.
