This pattern was created because a friend wanted me to make a rooster hat for her husband, who is a golfer, and has rooster club covers for his golf clubs. This was a perfect addition to those cooler golfing days. It was the funnest and most commented on creation that I have made. It’s so fun and makes me giggle every time I see it. And now there have been requests for a crochet only version, so here it is! :)
