Happy Holidays

• The Chicks are on hiatus until January 3 so while we aren’t meeting in person, some of us are still knitting. Here is a very quick project for a cute pixie elf looking for a warm hat.
  
  
  
  
   The pattern is no longer available on Ravelry but luckily I wrote it up for you.It was listed as Throwback Pixie Hood.

­Stitch marker

Skills used: knitting in the round, three­needle bind­off

Continue in this pattern, increasing the number of knit or purl st by 2 at the beginning and end of each 4th row, until only 2st remain at the center. Work three rows in stockinette. 
Fold the work in half, and close the top seam using three­needle bind­off. Break the yarn and weave in the ends. Block lightly if desired.

Wishing you a season of blessings and a happy new year!

And don’t forget, keep those needles clicking!
