Neon Child Monkey Hat

December 3, 2012 By Corina 5 Comments

While staring at my yarn trying to think of more Christmas present ideas… I came up with the neon color theme for my Child Size Sock Monkey Hat Pattern. But I didn't want to just do braids, not when I can make pom poms! So I combined the monkey pattern with my Curly Q pattern. And this is what I came up with. 😀 Enjoy this YARNTASTIC free crochet pattern made by me, Stitch11.

Turn, Slip stitch  back down the same CH you just single crocheted up.. Turn, Slip stitch back up the other side of the SC. Finish off and repeat for other ear flap.

Change back to the Curly Q yarn and make two pom poms. I used a small box of crayons, wrapped the yarn around it (slong ways) about 50 times each.  I used crochet thread to tie the middle of the yarn and to attach the pom poms after cutting the loops and shaping them.

      When clicking the print option, you will need to click just left of the pin it option that pops up.

      If that doesn’t work. Try pressing CTRL P and then select print preview so you can choose what pages to print.

    Thank you for the pattern! I needed it for a baby, so I went a hook size down, and did not do round 6. It turned out perfect! I will definitely be using this again!! Thanks!
