Newborn Fox Hat Crochet Pattern

While creating this baby hat, I couldn’t find the felt I needed to create his eyes and nose anywhere. Frustrated, I tried thinking where I could find the right colour. You see, I live in a small town, and there’s usually not that many choices when it comes to crafty things.
So you can understand how grateful I was when a friend of mine opened her craftroom to me, and gave me this lovely piece of cream felt! Though she is almost old enough to be my grandmother, it’s our love of creativity that has bounded us together as friends.

This little story above actually reminds me of a classic… Fox and the Hound! True they were the unlikeliest of friends, but they loved each other anyway!

chains.
}

Once you’ve finished crocheting the ears, take a sewing needle and piece
of fabric and line the inside of the ears. Make sure to leave a border
of crochet approximately 0.4 inches {1cm} wide all around.
Taking your tapestry needle, sew both ears to the top of your hat,
making sure they’re evenly spaced out.

middle. {Note: I created THIS printable PDF template for the felted part of the nose and eyes.}
Then sew the crocheted part of your nose onto the felted part.

Eyes
Taking your sewing needle, sew the felted part of the eyes onto your hat, above the nose, making sure to space them out evenly. {Note: I created THIS printable PDF template for the felted part of the nose and eyes.}
