Waddles, my little penguin friend, is ready to celebrate the holiday season in style! I loom-knitted a cozy Christmas hat for him, featuring a classic Fair Isle pattern that adds a festive touch. I’m still trying to master Fair Isle knitting so I’m pretty proud of how this turned out! It’s always fun to try new techniques, especially when the result is as adorable as this.
If you’d like to make one of your own, I’ve shared a free pattern below. It’s a perfect holiday project for anyone who loves crafting for their tiny companions!
