Sock Monkey Baby Hat Crochet Pattern

Category: Baby / Crochet / Hats + Headbands / Patterns

Like most people, I too like to monkey around.
I think in life we get so caught up in our careers or studies, that we forget to take the time to enjoy the silly little things. Thinking back, some of my favourite memories involved spontaneous trips that most people would deem a waste of time. But to those people I would merely say, that nothing is ever a waste of time, if it adds to the person you will become!

  1. I made this yesterday and think it came out great. I think it should say rows instead of rounds for the ear flaps and indicate where to turn. Also, for the mouth it say to chain 9 to start then for round 1 it says chain 1….so is it chain 10? I was confused. 🙂 In the end I figured it all out but those might help someone else. Thanks again for the pattern. People love it.
