This pattern was improvised on the fly for a friend of mine, using a simple hat pattern knit on straight needles (yup, there is seaming involved).

The eye was crocheted in the round so if you can’t crochet your next best bet is probably to either find some felt or somehow knit the eye. Not sure how you would do that.

The picture is still missing the pompom (black) and the extra ribbing I added to the bottom by FPD crocheting.

The written out pattern can be found on my blog :)

(The actual hat was made by casting on 60 stitches but seeing as my friend is teeny weeny, normal people like me should cast on at least 70 if not 80 stitches.)
