Eyes: Make 2
ch4 (counts as ch1 and first dc), dc into the first ch twice. ch1, turn, sc 3.

Mouth.
Using black yarn, backstitch a mouth on the front of your beanie. You can get a bit creative with the mouth shape, option for a smile, or a more traditional zigzag.

Of course, you could leave the eyes and mouth of completely and just use the hat as a pumpkin instead of a jack-o-lantern.

Rosies Cozies - Intro and Minnie/Mickey patterns

 


Hello beautiful people.

This week I read a post on Facebook by Rosies Cozies asking for help with patterns for their latest colleciton. If you'r not already aware of Rosies Cozies, pop on over and have a look.

The latest collection is based around Halloween, fall, thanksgiving and Christmas, however they are having a hard time finding preemie patterns of this nature.

Well, the idea of working up tiny little costumed hats just appeals to me! I know here in Aus they probably wouldn't be as popular, but Halloween and Thanksgiving are such large parts of American culture that I can imagine the parents and families of nicu bubs would get a lot of comfort from these types of beanies. Not to mention any younger siblings that might be overjoyed at the idea of their little brother or sister getting to join in with Halloween!

So for the next 2 weeks we'll be having a Rosies Cozies special here at Mamma That Makes. A variety of fun and funky hats for the festive season! We hope you enjoy these patterns, and if you can, send some along to Rosies Cozies, They would LOVE to reach their goal and I'm sure with everyone's help we can certainty make this happen! You can read more about this collection and get the address for posting HERE

Most beanies will come in multiple sizes too!

Now on to the first pattern!
