Crochet Fuzzy Sheep Hat Pattern

I designed this hat for my sweet niece Sarah who loves her SHEEP!!! I made her a stuffed sheep from this adorable pattern and I wanted to crochet a hat to match!

This pattern makes a hat with a 20" circumference.


I used Red Heart Buttercup yarn in white. I found it at Joann Fabrics, but it's probably other places too. It's REALLY fuzzy, so pay attention to your stitches so you don't get lost! (I kind of did get lost, a lot, but the fuzziness makes it pretty forgiving if you mess up.)
