Okay, so often I find myself annoyed at all the shared photos on my facebook lately. They all just seem to annoy me, but one day I noticed this beautiful picture of a baby in a rainbow tutu and a sock monkey hat with colors at the top. I instantly loved it and I saved it to my computer, and it's a great thing I did. A few days later my little brother (and new dad) saw the picture and requested that I make my niece Madison one. And of course I will make my babies anything because I love them all so much. They had their tutu made elsewhere, and in hot pink, purple and turquoise.
Since they picture didn't lead to a site I just made my own. Following pretty much the instructions for almost any ear flap hat out there in the world I made it, and I love it. Here are some pictures, and the pattern below. I hope you enjoy. This hat is 0-3 months. But if anyone wants it in another size just let me know and I will post it.
Absolutely adorable right! I thought so.

I really hope you love this hat because I absolutely do. I found my sock monkey color yarn at hobby lobby, and just let me stop being lazy so I can go see the actual color. I shall now list that at the top. If you would like this in another size just let me know, or you can come to my facebook page ( CrochetGaloreBoutigue) ( https://www.facebook.com/CrochetGaloreBoutique ) and purchase one of these. Let me know if you make this and if you like this. I'm doing this blog so these wonderful free patterns can get out there. And be on the lookout for the baby boy football hat pattern later on tonight that I just completed before I wrote this blog. It's going to take a lot of catching up to do to get all the projects that I have done blogged about, but I will do it.
HAPPY CROCHETING
