I've slacked off from time to time. I was asked for this pattern after posting the picture on my facebook page, so I wanted to share it with you all. This is not an original pattern and was actually found at:<br />

I plan on doing the mickey mouse one as well, and you will notice the difference between mine and the one on the other site is I did not include buttons, that was a personal decision as they are hats for young children and I didn't like the idea of buttons on them. When I do the Mickey mouse one I plan on crocheting buttons to include, to keep the look of the hat. I'm also hoping to take the pattern and make larger hats for my older kids. I will keep you updated when those are made as well. So happy crocheting, and have fun.<br />
