This will be the softest Santa hat that you ever feel!  This velvet yarn is amazingly soft.  It is a  bulky #5 yarn and works up so quickly. 

This is a super simple and easy pattern.  The adult and child size follow the same pattern, I just sized down hooks for the child.

Modeled by my little brother, Gabe.  I  told him that I wanted him to model for me and he was like, ‘no, way!’  But, when I offered to pay him ($2) he told me, ‘You got a deal.’  LOL 

The adult size fits an average adult head of 21”-23” in circumference and the child size fits a 18”-20” head (approx. 3-10 years)
