Notes

This hat was fun and easy to make. I’ve noticed that all the hats I make by this designer (Sarah Zimmerman/Repeat Crafter Me) end up a lot bigger than they should be. This hat is intended for a pre-schooler, but I followed the 12-16 month pattern instead. (I had previously made the sock monkey hat in a pre-school size and it came out too big, more like child-size).

I altered the pattern as follows:

  • I added 2 extra rows of double crochet at the end.
  • I chained 25 for the ear flap strings

I made this in about 3 hours - the crocheting is easy, it’s the sewing that takes a lot of time!

All in all, very cute hat and very easy to follow pattern :)
