crafting with grandma - Crocheted Monster Hats!

Christmas is just a few months away, so if you like to crochet, consider making some fun, warm hats for the ones you love! 

When my grandsons were younger I crocheted fun hats for them - Agent Perry hats, yellow Minions, purple Minions, and a "Gimli" hat (their dog is named Gimli, so I got yarn the color of Gimli and crocheted ears like Gimli!) One year, even though the boys had no lack of hats, I decided since we had been having great fun making up monster stories, a monster hat seemed like a good "fit"!I found a fun pattern on esty for a one-eyed monster hat and used a couple new yarns from Red Heart . . . their new Heads Up yarn and Reflective yarn - and had three hats completed for my three sweet boys! These hats were one-eyed monsters with three horns and the little "monsters" are sticking out their tongues! They were warm - and fun!

You could find the pattern on esty, or just make a hat with bobble stitches/popcorn stitches to make all the "bumps", add the facial features you like, and have your own hats! I added the ear flaps and an extra horn. Enjoy - and be sure to get photos of the children you love in their fun monster hats!
