Perfect Crochet Hat CHRISTMAS SANTA ELF LONG TAIL

HERE IT IS
 THE PERFECT CROCHET HAT PATTERN 

FOR THE LONG TAIL and SHORT TAIL ELF

LOLLIPOP is the name of this crochet hat pattern, so-called, because I made the pink long tail first and I thought it looked just like a lollipop!

You can make this hat with organic cotton yarn or organic wool/cotton blends.

For the long tail pink, blue, and Santa hats I used Bendigo Cotton 8ply which you can also find available in smaller balls under the brand name of Heirloom Cotton 8ply.

The green elf hat I made using Rowan Belle Organic Wool Cotton DK for the main colour (body of hat) and James C. Brett Pure Merino DK for the contrasting texture, pom pom and brim of the hat.

YARN SUBSTITUTES

You can use whatever yarn you wish, once you reach the right head circumference for whatever size you are making, continue without increasing. To match the sizing in the pattern always check the YARNSUB website for best match.

PATTERN DETAILS:

Basically this newborn hat is a  “photo prop”, the hat has a long tail and “baby safe” pom pom. Easy to adjust for smaller/larger head circumference.

• MAKE a variety of hats with this pattern - long tail, short tail, santa, elf.

SIMPLY PERFECT!

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication

~ Leonardo da Vinci

SIMPLE PIXIE HAT

Take a simple crochet hat pattern and create the perfect accessory for your darling newborn. Nothing could be simpler. 

I designed these pixie hats and used to sell them at Spitalfields Markets in London and Northern Rivers markets (Byron Bay, Bangalow, Channon, Mullumbimby and Brunswick Heads) in Australia. They were always popular as gifts for newborns as well as everyday wear for babies and toddlers. 

You can now make these too using my PIXIE BABE Crochet Hat Pattern.

Simple colours, simple shape and a simple, elegant result - Simply Perfect.

ADD  a lovely simple pair of mittens and you have the perfect gift for that special newborn.

I loved making the newborn pixie hats and mittens from one of Australia's softest 100% cotton yarns available from Bendigo Woollen Mills in Victoria, Australia.  Do check out their website you won't be disappointed, so many yarns available in 200gram balls at a great price.

SIMPLE BABY MITTENS

These baby mittens are ever so simple to make, the pattern is part of another newborn hat and mittens pattern which does not include the pixie hat pattern.  Hopefully in the future I will include the mittens pattern with PIXIE BABE.
