This snowflake pixie beanie could be a Christmas favourite!

The snowflake is worked flat and seamed. The snowflake is worked as fairisle (float stitch) motif.
If you are a new knitter and not quite ready to work in Fairisle this time, you can make this pattern an easy project by Swiss darning (duplicate stitching) the snowflake onto your hat after knitting.

This knitting pattern has instructions for the following sizes:
0-3m (3-6m, 6-12m, 1-2 yrs, 3-5 years)

Choose any 4 Ply yarn (or sport yarn) that knits on 3.25mm (US3) needles to the tension listed below.
The little beanie shown here was knitted in Bergere De France Caline 4ply.

This easy-to-read knitting pattern has separate detailed row by row instructions and picture charts for each size to help to make this pattern super easy.
If you are printing this pattern, just print out the size you are knitting along with the ‘All Sizes pages to save on ink! All pages are clearly numbered and indexed.

If you only work in the round you could easily convert this pattern for DPNs and duplicate stitch (swiss darn) the snowflakes once you have completed the beanie hat.
