These miniature, pompom-topped hats are just so cuuute! Designed by Nancy Ekvall for Blue Sky Fibers, you can whip up one or two a night, mixing and matching colors and patterns as you like. Then, string them along a garland, dangle them on packages, use them as celebratory bottle toppers—the adorableness is endless!

The Holiday Cheer Mini Hats are knit using Blue Sky Fibers Woolstok Bundles! These bundles contain three mini hanks each of seven different colors of Woolstok (total of 21 mini hanks). Worsted-weight Woolstok is made from Peruvian Highland wool—lofty, soft, and lightweight!
