Santa and Elf Crochet Buckle Beanies

October 25, 2022

These are the festive beanies you need this holiday season! Not only are they cute and Christmassy, but they will keep your head and ears warm too! I am posting the pattern for sizes Newborn to Adult. Make one for everyone! Santa and Elf are the perfect duo for these Crochet Buckle Beanies and it’s just another great way to use my Crochet Belt Buckle pattern. You will see that I used the crochet buckle on these Witch Hats but they also work for Santa, Elf, Leprechaun, and more!


Materials:
– Red Heart Super Saver in colors Cherry Red, Spring Green, Black and White
– Red Heart Super Saver in colors Saffron Yellow and Light Gray for the buckles
Shop yarn HERE on Yarnspirations.com
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle
– Large Pom-Pom maker (optional)

    If the child is 8 months should I make 6-9 or 9-12? Don’t want it big but want it to fit.

    Hi – Do you have a post where you explain your hat sizing (ex. preschooler = 17 inches around)? I’m making these for two kids the same age, but they have very different head circumferences so I don’t know which size to go with. Thanks!

    The real steps to improve the state of the global space industry can be judged when the first space stations replace the existing ISS https://orbitaltoday.com/2022/11/05/ot-interviews-five-questions-with-space-forges-christina-macleod/. Or they will be built on the moon, or maybe on Mars, this will be the first precedent in history.
