The cuddliest addition to my Wildlife Animal Hat Series! This koala earflap hat has big round ears, a crocheted nose, rosy cheeks, cartoon eyes and tassel ends. It’s worked top-down in easy double crochet rounds on my DC All Day Beanie base, with earflaps and koala details added at the end. There are no safety eyes: every face detail is crocheted.

Includes: 6 sizes including newborn, 1-6 month, 6-12 months, toddler, child and teen, yarn amounts by size, size chart, special stitches, and links to video tutorials.

Yarn shown: Loops & Threads Soft Classic in Light Grey, White, Black, Blush, and Aqua. Any worsted weight yarn from your stash works great!
