Lots of these gift idea knitting patterns have been for adults, but of course one way to get a project done fast is to make something for a child (tell that to the gigantic blanket I’ve been working on for more than a month).
Because their bodies are smaller, it generally takes less yarn to cover them. And they look universally adorable in bulky knits, if you ask me.
So here’s a sweet elf-style (aka stocking cap) knit hat you might want to stitch for a kiddo in your life. The pattern, from Gina Michele, is super simple and sized for kids from toddler up to big kid. It uses Lion Brand Thick and Quick and size 13 US needles, so you’ll make quick work of it no matter the size you need to make.
Just don’t forget the adorable contrast pom-pom!
