Foofa hat

As with all my own patterns it comes with a warning...I crochet tightly so you will have to adjust the pattern by using a bigger hook.


I am not completely happy with how this turned out, the eyes and flower seem to big, but I've had a couple of requests to share so please feel free to use this pattern to make and sell hats but please give credit of the pattern to me, i.e. "pattern created by Tiffany's Crochet".


Please post and let me know how this turned out for you!




I love this yarn 7oz/198g/355yd 100% acrylic
MC (not sure about color, I think it is Pink or Rose, some left over from another project)
CC color one shade lighter than above color


This hat is pointy at the top like Foofa.
