Bobble Christmas Tree Beanie

The inspiration for the Christmas Tree Beanie came one snowy December afternoon as I was prepping for an upcoming holiday craft fair. I wanted to create something unique and festive that would bring a smile to people’s faces, especially kids and those who love the holiday season. After a bit of trial and error, the Christmas Tree Beanie was born.

Since its debut, this beanie has become a holiday favorite in my shop, adored by customers and family alike. I love seeing the joy it brings when worn, especially around Christmas time! It’s a versatile pattern that allows for creativity—think colorful “ornaments” on the tree or even a sparkling star on top. This beanie is not just a hat; it’s a celebration of the season!

If you enjoyed last year’s Oh, Bobble Tree decor pattern, you’re going to love this wearable interpretation!

Pattern Notes

Skill Level: Intermediate, US Terminology
Beginning CH-1 of a round does not count as a stitch.
To make your bobbles really pop, be sure to work the subsequent SC tightly.
Stitch counts are shown at the end of each row, in parentheses.
This pattern is worked with three stands of yarn held together. The easiest way to do this is by using 3 skeins of yarn. For infant – youth sizes, you can use 1 skein and separate it into 3 balls of 120 yards each.
Work the pattern through for Men’s size. Follow notes in pattern for finishing smaller sizes.
Join each round with a SLST to beg st of RND.

Special Stitches

Bobble Stitch (BS): A set of 3 unfinished dcs, worked into the same st, and finished all together to form one st.

To make a BS:

YO, insert hook into next st and pull up a loop, YO, pull through two loops (two loops remain on hook),

YO, insert hook into same st and pull up a loop, YO, pull through two loops (three loops remain on hook),

YO, insert hook into same st and pull up a loop, YO, pull through two loops (four loops remain on hook),

YO, pull through all four loops on the hook.

Note: normally, a bobble stitch will be popped toward the back. Since this piece is worked in the round, our bobble will be popped to the front. (I know it’s unorthodox, but it works!)
