Now, you too can create a delightful “Green Ogre” hat (a la Shrek) for your little beasties. I am thrilled I get to share this as my very first pattern. I’ve made things up before for sure, but this time I took the trouble to do MATH for you people and type it all out.

Click on the link below and you should magically have a PDF file.

Enjoy!

My friends\' boy, my proud model.

(Modeled by my favorite red-headed monster. Photograph courtesy of my pal Olaf. I totally “borrowed” it from his flickr site because the only other hat photo I have is this. I’m sure all will understand why I thieved.)

*Disclaimer: I am not as proficient in mathematics as I am verbal, and subsequently, the pattern may not be without flaw. But handmade things have flaws and I’m ok with that. If you are not, I suggest you gauge swatch and do your own math. Let me know if you have problems with the pattern, but I reserve the right not to care. It is free. Free as a bird. Free like the wind. Free as…Well, you get it.

Gosh, I love making stuffed animals. There is something so satisfying in having an FO you can actually hug when you are through.

This one is for my preggers friend Megan- or actually it is more specifically for Cletus the Fetus.

Garter Stitch Elephant and soft, purple stash yarn. This free pattern I found on Ravelry (oh Ravelry, how do I love thee).

Happy Monday!
