Crochet Thomas the Train Hat Pattern

I had a request for this Crochet Thomas the Train hat! So I made this crochet hat and I hope everyone enjoys it!  If you tell others about my work, please only link back to my blog, but don't copy my pattern 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.
