LITTLE GREEN MONSTER HAT



If you have little ones I think you will love this pattern.  My son (5) cannot stop talking about Mike from Monsters Inc.  We haven't even seen the movie but he just thinks Mike is the cutest little Monster. I knit the green hat but have not included a pattern for that because I am just learning to knit so working on two needles and fudging the decreases as I go.  If you have any of my beginner patterns you could you them or really any basic beanie pattern will work.
Below are the instructions for all the bits and pieces that make this hat so cute.  So have fun and enjoy.  Be sure to share this link with anyone who might like and of course I would love to see any finished hats on Facebook.
