GAUGE...

3 hdc stitches x 2.5 rows = 1"

At the end of round 6, laying flat = 5" in diameter

Don’t forget to check your gauge.

PATTERN NOTES - must read...

 Numbers in ( ) at the end of each round/row indicate the total number of stitches.

 Always use stitch markers to mark your rounds.

 The ch 2 at the beginning of each round counts as 1 hdc.

 You slip stitch on the top of the chain 2.

 When a round or row mentions “around/across” you will be working that whole sequence from that round/row around the entire piece. (EX: sc in next st, 2sc in next st, around = sc, inc, sc, inc,…)

SPECIAL STITCHES

** Braids (for all sizes) **

Cut 18 pieces of yarn (9 for each earflap) about 30 inches long. (You can do the braids all yellow like I did or use 3 different colors for example black, red and yellow). Fold each bunch in half and push the folded end through an opening in the bottom of each earflap. Pull the unfolded ends through the loop and pull tight. Separated the colors and braid the strands. At the end, trim to desired length and tie a knot to secure the braid. Complete the second braid the same way.

NOTE: You can make the bow smaller or bigger by chaining fewer or more stitches in the beginning.

BOW in pink; 3.75mm (F)

  Row 1: ch15, hdc in 2nd ch from hook and across, ch1, turn (14)
  Row 2-6: hdc in each st across, ch1, turn (14)

F/O, secure and weave in the ends. With a strand of pink yarn about 8" long, wrap it several times in the middle of the bow and secure it with a knot. Weave in the ends.   


ASSEMBLE
     I recommend pinning the pieces in place before sewing them to make sure you have them in the position you like best before sewing. (Most people like to use the yarn in the end from the finished pieces to sew them in place but I personally like to use matching thread).
     EARS…using a pom-pom maker (the size of your choice); make 2 pom-poms. Don’t cut off the strand that you use to tie the pom-pom. Use the strand to sew the pom-poms on round 5 and align them to the center of the earflaps as in the pictures below.

     BUTTONS…you don’t want to use actual buttons since it’s a choking hazard. Using white felt make 2 circles and glue them in the position you like best. Or you can crochet the buttons.

This beanie will go great with the Mickey Mouse Pillow.
You can purchase this pattern in any of my shops (Ravelry or Etsy) for a very low price.

** Braids (for all sizes) **

Cut 18 pieces of yarn (9 for each earflap) about 30 inches long. (You can do the braids all in one color or use 3 different colors for turquoise, white and light gray). Fold each bunch in half and push the folded end through an opening in the bottom of each earflap. Pull the unfolded ends through the loop and pull tight. Separated the colors and braid the strands. At the end, trim to desired length and tie a knot to secure the braid. Complete the second braid the same way.

ASSEMBLE
     I recommend pinning the pieces in place before sewing them to make sure you have them in the position you like best before sewing. (Most people like to use the yarn in the end from the finish pieces to sew them in place but I personally like to use matching thread).
     EARS…sew the top portion and a little bit of the sides between round 4 and 5. Pin them first and see how you like them best.

      MOUTH…draw out a template on a piece of paper on how you would like it to look like. Cut it out and tape it unto the felt ‘cause it makes it so much easier to cut it out exactly like your template. Pin and glue on the bottom of your beanie, just above the turquoise edging, between round 9 and 13.
     Spot for the eye…use any scrap of fabric you might have laying around. Same as the mouth, draw a template, cut it out, tape it on the felt and cut it out. I use the “Fray Check Glue” all over the spot so as time goes by it won’t start coming undone. Glue it just above the mouth on either side that you would like it at.

      NOSE…using black felt make a nose. You can also embroider it with embroider floss, the choice is yours.
     EYES…sew a button on top of the spot and the other just on the other side. Make sure before you sew them in place that their evenly place.

This beanie will go great with my Doggy Baby Booties that comes in 2 sizes
(newborn to 6 months & 6 months to 12 months).
You can purchase this pattern in any of my shops
(ravelry, etsy or craftsy) for a very low price.

You can make the bow bigger by chaining more stitches in the beginning.
F/O, secure and weave in the ends. With a strand of  pink yarn about 8" long wrapped it several times through the middle of the bow and secure it with a knot. Weave in the ends.


ASSEMBLE
     I recommend pinning the pieces in place before sewing them to make sure you have them in the position you like best before sewing. (Most people like to use the yarn in the end from the finish pieces to sew them in place but I personally like to use matching thread).
     Ears…there’s no need in stuffing them simply flatten them and sew them between round 4 and 7. For the bigger sizes, you might want to sew them between round 5 and 8. Pin them first and see which one you like best.
     Bow...sew it on the left ear.

2nd Earflap with light blue
Count to the right 23 sts (that’s including the 12 sts from the 1st earflap). Attach to the 24th st.Repeat rows 1-10 from 1st earflap.
Don’t F/O. Continue to make the edging.

EDGING with light blue
ch 1, turn, sc in each st around; working evenly around each earflap. Remember to mark your round with a stitch marker. Do another round of sc around the entire beanie. Join with a sl st into the 1st sc to give it an even finish.F/O, secure and weave in the ends.

EARS with white; make 2
  Rnd 1: 8hdc in magic ring (8)
  Rnd 2: sc in next st, 2sc in next st around (12)
  Rnd 3-7: hdc in each st around, sl st into 1st st (12)
F/O, secure and weave in the ends.

BRAIDS
Cut 18 pieces of yarn (9 for each earflap) about 30 inches long. Fold each bunch in half and push the folded end through an opening in the bottom of each earflap. Pull the unfolded ends through the loop and pull tight. Braid the strands and tie a knot to secure the braid. Complete the second braid the same way. I use 3 strands of each in light blue, white and beige color; you can use just one color or whatever combination you like.

ASSEMBLE
     I recommend pinning the pieces in place before sewing them to make sure you have them in the position you like best before sewing. (Most people like to use the yarn in the end from the finish pieces to sew them in place but I personally like to use matching thread).
     EARS...stuff the ears very lightly so the stuffing won’t show through. Sew the ears between round 5 and 7.
  For the face I will be sharing with you my sketch I made before I started cutting up the felt. I use this sketch to get my parts looking perfectly. Just cut the pieces and trace them into the felt. Follow the template below for the colors you need to use. You can either glue them in place with hot glue or sew them.

     EYES...you will need 2 black buttons with a diameter of 2cm. As you can see in the above template I wrote down where to place them in the face. Follow the guide.

This beanie will go great with the Adventure Time Pillows.
You can purchase these individually or as a combo pack in
any of my shops (Ravelry, Etsy or Craftsy) for a very low price.
