none of santa's reindeer, or any reindeer, were harmed in the making of this photograph :)
hello everyone!
two christmases ago, i decided to make a santa hat for myself. all of the store-bought hats felt so cheap and itchy and just sorta blah. when i couldn't find a santa hat pattern that was simple enough, i made up my own and here it is! it's a very simple crochet pattern that turns out very comfy.  make this for yourself or for someone you care about.  wear it often and spread some holiday cheer!  :)
