Newborn Mickey Mouse Inspired Hat Crochet Pattern

A few weeks ago I was unfortunately infected with a sinus blocking, head throbbing flu {Courtesy of my little sister}. 

So in an attempt to remain sane, I browsed Pinterest, hoping to discover some or other quirky Disney pins... I was not disappointed! I couldn't believe the amount of artworks, quotes and hidden movie gems there were to be found! I'm happy I'm not the only adult still as obsessed with Disney as when I was a kid! 

What's your favourite Disney character? Mine is Rapunzel!
