Droid Beanie

Life has been happening over the last few months and so I had to step away from crochet for a little while. I am happy to say that I am back and excited about the things to come. I finally got around to making my droid hat. I have made other hats like this before but have never been happy with the patterns I have used. Here is the link to where you can buy the pattern.

My 5 year old son  and his cousin are obsessed with robots and droids. They are the reason I decided to create this beanie. I have to apologize for the weird angle of the picture. I hope it doesn't make the beanie look too weird. My husband likes this beanie so much, he actually wants me to make one for him. I told him I would if he would wear it to work. He seemed to think his co-workers would want one too. I'm not to sure about that. LOL!

 

This pattern requires someone to be at the intermediate level, at least. It is a little more difficult than some of my other patterns. If you have ever done a graph, this hat will be simple for you. It does require frequent color changes.

 The pieces are a little bulky. I designed them that way because it made me think of little boys and their Lego toys and games. I also thought it looked more playful and appealing to a child. Although, I am finding it is also appealing to grown men. ;)

 When sewing on the circle pieces, I sew just inside the circle so that it doesn't change the shape or flatten the circle in anyway.

If you would like the applique pieces smaller, you can always go down in hook size or even use a thinner or lighter weight yarn.

I really loved creating this beanie. This would be a great item to make and put away for Christmas or a birthday. I hope you enjoy this pattern as much as I have and remember you can always sell your creations, just not the patterns. Please share the link to this pattern instead of the actual pattern.

Thank you for visiting my blog and giving me feed back. I really appreciate all of your input.

Happy crochet!
