Santa hat
Santa hat charted as clean filet blocks that read clearly on the grid, a 22 by 20 motif made for seasonal throws, festive runners, and holiday gifts. Open it in the editor to resize the grid, frame it with open mesh, or repeat it into a border, then export a PNG or print a numbered chart to crochet from.

Skill level: beginner
If this is one of your earliest charts, you are in safe territory. The outline is bold and simple, so a small miscount rarely shows in the finished piece.
Yarn and hook
Work the santa hat in cotton thread for a delicate result, or in DK or worsted cotton on a larger hook for a cushion- or blanket-scale version that still holds the mesh open. A solid, light colour shows the mesh best; high-contrast yarns make the design pop in photos and in the finished fabric.
Project ideas
Reach for the santa hat when you want a seasonal gathering. It looks at home on a seasonal throw and a festive table runner alike. Crop or enlarge it in the editor so it fits your project exactly.
Who it's for
Stitched for a host, the santa hat suits a seasonal gathering beautifully. Frame it with a border to give a plain gift a finished, considered look.
Size, printing, and scaling
At a 4-mesh-per-inch gauge the chart finishes around 5.5 by 5.0 inches; a finer thread shrinks it and a heavier yarn grows it, so check your own gauge first. Send the chart straight to print for a clean numbered grid, or resize and re-crop it in the editor first and export a PDF, PNG, or CSV.
