Small Knitted Christmas Santa Hat Ornament

Hello again friends! 

COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS: 34 DAYS!!
Today I was working on knitting some miniature Christmas Santa hats to hang on the Christmas tree.  I made up my own little pattern for the project.  It's very simple to follow and such a quick knit.
The pattern is posted below the photos.  Hope you enjoy making your own Santa hat ornaments!

 

MATERIALS:

red yarn
white yarn
6 mm circular needles
yarn threading needle


PATTERN:

Cast on 12 stitches using size 6 mm  needles
divide stitches equally (6 stitches) onto the two needles of the circular needles
knit for 5 rows using white wool
switch colors to red wool and knit for  9  rows
start decreasing by 2 stitches (1 decrease for each needle) each row for 4 rows after until you have 4 stitches left
switch to the white yarn again to make your pompom and knit for 4 rows then run the yarn through the stitches with your threading needle and tie a knot.
Use your threading needle to weave all strands into the inside of the hat.
tie a piece of yarn (any color) on the back of your hat to make the ornament to hang onto the tree.

I hope you enjoyed this pattern ! Have a nice night :)
