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!



Newborn Bulky Hat, instead of a D hook, Use a J hook with this pattern: http://www.amyscrochetpatterns.com/2015/01/crochet-baby-0-3-months-football-hat.html, when the increase stops, then continue the pattern as written in this pattern with the J hook. 

Supplies:
H hook
4 Buttons
I used Red Heart Pink, white, and black yarn

Abbreviations:
ch=chain
sl st=slip stitch
sc=single crochet
dc=double crochet
dc2tog=double crochet 2 together hdc=half double crochet hdc2tog=half double crochet 2 together

I'm currently on the finishing touches of your hat, and want to post it to my blog. Is it ok if I post the modifications that I made? It's just because I made one of the smaller sizes and the muzzle and eye didn't look right so I made them smaller. I won't put it up until I get the go-ahead from you, though. Cute design, really like it.

if you want to redo the body in your own pattern and the smaller parts in your own pattern, then fine, but if its all in my pattern and just smaller, I prefer you would just link back to my site only and give me credit, and not post the pattern.
