Thank you so much for sharing this pattern. My son is a yo gabba gabba fanatic. I can't wait to start this project. What the circumference on your hat?
ReplyDeleteJaydee, I didn't write down measurements of that type, I only did length since most of the hats stretch to the size of the head. My 3 year old tried on the hat and it was still long enough to fold up the edges...I tried on the hat and it was a little short but fit around the head.
ReplyDeletePlease let me know how this pattern turns out for you!
Thanks so much for this tutorial. My son's hat is just adorable. His face was priceless when he saw it.
ReplyDeleteTiffany, I am making this hat now but I am confused about the instructions for the eyes. For the black you said chain 25, is that right?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this pattern. My youngest grand daughter is a Yo gabba gabba freak and this will be a perfect christmas gift for her. :) Thanks again. :)
