PATTERN: Dr Seuss Hat & Matching Leg Warmers

Dr Seuss Hat & Matching Leg Warmers.

My son's pre-kindergarten class will have a Dr Seuss party next week at school and thinking ahead to that day inspired this little pattern for my younger daughter.

This pattern will make a 0-3 Month size hat and leg warmers.

SL ST = Slip Stitch
DC = Double Crochet
CH = Chain

This is a chunky style hat so you will need a large hook. I used N (9.00MM) and you'll work two stands of yarn simultaneously.







Hat:

Beginning with red: Magic Circle, CH 3, 10 DC in the round. (10 DC)
Round 2: Switch to white. CH 3. 2 DC in each DC. (20 DC)
Round 3: Switch to Red. CH 3. *2 DC in first. DC in next two DC*. *repeat around. (27 DC)
Round 4: Switch to white. CH 3. DC in each DC (27 DC)

Round 6: Switch to white. CH 3. DC in each DC (27 DC)
Round 7: Switch to teal. CH 3. DC in each DC (27 DC). Finish off & weave in ends

Pom Pom:

Make the pom pom using the teal yarn. I use a can of frosting and wrap the yarn that way. I like the size that the can produces. If you do not know how to make a pom pom there are some very helpful videos on you tube like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS5innWg8Eg

Once the pom pom is assembled, sew it on to the top of the hat.

Roung 5: Switch to Teal. CH 3. DC in each DC. (14 DC). Finish off and weave in ends.

PATTERN: The Breast Boobie Beanie Ever

I love all the support that is circulating for breastfeeding mommas. Somehow our culture has gotten away from breastfeeding and many view it as gross or inaproppriate. That needs to change, no excuses. Breastfeeding is normal, healthy, and a wonderful way for mom and baby to bond. I think more women would give it a chance if they were supported by their significant others, friends, family and the general public.

I just finished a boobie beanie and I love it! The crochet pattern is quick and easy. It will probably take you only 20 minutes to whip this little hat up.

Enjoy and share the love for breast feeding mommas.
