Toothless Hat Pattern

I loved this hat from the beginning, but was amazed at Christmas at how much my brothers loved this adorable toothless hat.

My younger brother has told me that he loves it so much he has to sleep in it. And my older brother wanted one of his own.

I created this pattern after seeing other toothless hats online, but this is my version.

Assembly

First I like to sew my eyes together.

-First sew the black onto the green.

-Then sew the white on the edge of the black but still on the green.

Then I line everything onto the hat until I am satisfied with the arrangement. 

*The spikes and ears are sewn on as flat pieces so fold them in half and sew the bottom of each piece where it attaches to the hat.*

Using safety pins I attach the pieces where I want them and then one by one remove the safety pins when sewing the pieces on.

Hope you enjoy this pattern as much as I have! As always let me know of any problems in my pattern, I'm the only one who has used it.
