Crochet Santa Hats for Christmas

Ho Ho Ho! Isn’t this the most magical time of the year? Everyone is thrilled for Christmas to arrive finally.

We absolutely love decorating our homes with festive decorations, baking cookies for Santa (and of course leaving him a glass of milk), sending your family members invitations for Christmas dinner, watching Christmas movies (especially fairytales and comedies, right?) like “Grinch,” or “Home Alone,” and so on, and so on. The list of Christmas “to-do things” wouldn’t be complete without crocheting some lovely items, like garlands, little amigurumi toys, snowflakes, and, of course, a Santa hat!

Those Santa hat patterns are great for beginners and work up really fast. Start crocheting right now and wear it on Saint Nicholas Day! Take a look at the examples below and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.
