I have been obsessed with Sasquatch for a while, and figured it was high time I design a pattern that suits me (and all the other squatchers out there). This pattern will require color working in the round. You will need to have floats in some rounds (this is not very complicated to do, so an adventurous beginner should have no issues with this hat).

The pattern contains two charts-one for the smaller Sasquatch and one for the taller Sasquatch, you may choose whichever chart you want to follow, this is a choose your own ending. There is a video included in the pattern that will show you how I personally make my faux fur pom poms, my way is a bit messy but is far faster than some of the other methods (there are others videos out there if you want to find a less messy way).

This pattern has been tested for errors by my amazing testers and I would like to extend to them my deepest gratitude. Without you, my little dream would only be a fantastical dream, much like bigfoot! :)
