I want to thank you for all your wonder patterns. I love your children's character hats. I have made a few of them for my grandson. I would love to know something. I have been looking for a pattern for eeyore. I have looked everywhere. I see so many made but have not found a pattern. I hope you can help. I'm looking for one either with flaps or not. My son wants one for his son. I hope you might be able to help. I love the details you put into your patterns. They look so well done. Thanks for all you do.
