I decided to offer this pattern for free on the blog instead of selling it in my ravelry store or on etsy.
I've made 4 in total and they are pretty fun!
If you decide to work this up for yourself or a loved one, I'm sure they'll have a great time with it too ;).
***1.3.14 Update***
I received and email today that AllFreeCrochet.com is now offering this pattern on their site!
Welcome All Free Crochet members!
As AllFreeCrochet mentioned this hat would be neat as a penguin hat too! :) Using a different variety of colors of course ;). If I make one for a friend or one is requested I will share it with you! :) Happy Crafting!
