It’s Week #3! This week, we’re making….<\/p>\r\n

The Elf Hat Pattern.<\/h3>\r\n

It’s time to make a pattern that we introduced all the way back in 2019!<\/p>\r\n

The Elf Hat will become a Christmas classic in your collection.. I think you’ll really enjoy playing around with your fabrics to create the adorable swirls.<\/p>\r\n

We’ve updated this pattern with a brand new eBook, and our new ‘Bunny Gnome’ variation!<\/p>\r\n

These are so fun to embellish!<\/p>\r\n
