Snowflake Nissehue

In Denmark, the festive santy hat is affectionately known as a nissehue. This charming hat is traditionally worn by tiny nisser, who are not quite Santa’s little helpers but rather playful and mischievous elves that enjoy teasing humans during the Christmas season. According to local folklore, these little beings will bring about playful antics unless appeased with traditional Christmas rice porridge and milk, making them an integral part of Danish holiday spirit.

This delightful knitting pattern provides a quick and easy way to create a nissehue for your favorite little mischievous nisser. Perfect for getting into the Christmas spirit, this design features a thick, luxurious brim adorned with a stunning seasonal frosty snowflake pattern, celebrating the beauty of winter. The short pointed crown of the hat ensures that it won't hinder your child's playtime activities, allowing them to frolic freely while keeping warm. Complete the look with a whimsical little snowball pom pom on top, and you've crafted the perfect Christmas hat suitable for babies, toddlers, or small children.
