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.

I start with a black version of repeatcrafterme's base hat. You can get the base hat pattern here.

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.

Merry Christmas!



I had a great Christmas and I hope you all did to. My favorite gifts to give just happen to be hand crocheted items that I have made with love, but I've had to keep them a secret for so long.
Now that Christmas is over I can share some of my secret creations with you!

Here are a few things I've made this Christmas season:

Toothless Hat



Little Red Riding Hood Doll


Olaf Scarves



As I finish editing their patterns those will be posted as well so you can make your own!
