Crochet Cow Hat Pattern

This crochet Cow hat is such a cute and easy pattern. I enjoyed making this how-to cow hat pattern. My daughter kept acting like a cow after I made this hat, haha. I love how the eyes turned out and it can make for a cute gift for someone special. If you tell others about my work, please only link back to my blog, but don't copy my patterns to your site. Also you can sell anything you make from my patterns, but don't sell the free pattern. Thank you!
