This quick and easy Christmas Pudding Hat whips up quicker than the real thing will cook ;)

YOU WILL NEED 100-300 m cream/white yarn, 100-300 m brown yarn, a small amount of red and green thinner yarn for the holly leaves and berries, appropriately sized hooks (for neat stitches) and a needle for neatening ends.

The sample was worked in chunky yarn with a 5.50 mmm hook.

You may use any yarn as long as you select all colours in the SAME THICKNESS for the hat.

Embellishments should be made in fingering, 4 ply yarn or double knit yarn – the thinner the yarn, the daintier the holly and berries will be.
