Love awesome trendy free patterns - so happy with how this hat came out - super easy to follow, went really fast, and the end result was perfect! Cannot WAIT for my nephews bday to give this to him!

Didn’t do a button center to the eye - just repeated the first row of the white circle in black and attached! The ear flaps and braids down are my FAVORITE! :)

Also made a bit bigger, added a Dc over 5 row and over 6 row and made just that much bigger to have it be a tad loose on the 3 year old with room to grow.

THANK YOU FOR THIS AMAZING PATTERN @bsmith5007!

Update feb 2014: ok- been going a little minion crazy with the hats. Made more hats for kids and grownups, and got into purple minions too!!!
