it's beginning...

Xmas is less than 3 months away! And the kid now has an elf hat to go with his socks to get him in the spirit. I've written up the pattern as well, in case anyone else can't stop thinking about the holidays already. I've only written it up for their size (3 1/2-year-old with a big head) but it should be easy to size up or down, as long as your cast-on is divisible by 8. Here's the pattern! I knit it out of Briggs & Little Tuffy - bought on sale, that means a hat and socks for only $5! yay.

A couple of things you will need to know for the hat: short row shaping, s2sk (like ssk, except you slip 2 tog, then one, and then knit through all 3 - a centred decrease from 3 stitches to 1), kfbf (knitting in the front and back and front of a stitch to make 3 out of 1.
