An elf hat? A stocking cap? A gnome hat? A santa hat? Whatever you call it, this hat is a festive staple for the holiday season! Crochet one in all the colors of your choice to fit your perfect holiday vibe.

This classic cozy hat has been stylized with textured stripes and bobbles in addition to the bands of color (hence, the "Banded Bobbles" of the pattern title). In addition to five standard sizes (toddler-adult large), this crochet pattern also includes instructions for custom sizing!

This pattern is of easy to intermediate difficulty and includes 15+ detailed progress photos. G (4.25mm), I (5.50mm), and L (7.00mm) hooks, 60-90 yards bulky weight yarn (recommended Red Heart Hygge in Pearl) and 200-350 yards of dk weight yarn (recommended Berroco Vintage DK), and a pom pom maker in the desired size are recommended to complete this project.
