Crochet an Angry Yellow Bird Hat Pattern

The Angry bird hats are so popular right now. My daughter loves the angry bird hats and games! I was inspired to make this hat after making the first angry birds hat I made. My daughter loves wearing them.

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.
