Monsters Inc. Sulley Inspired Baby Hat Crochet Pattern

Mike Wazowski might have been my favourite monster, but Sulley will always hold a very special and dear place in my heart! I’ve always loved how he fulfilled that old saying of “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover”. To put it simply, in spite of how scary he looked, a warm and kind heart dwelled happily on the inside. I think that’s what I’m loving most about recent Disney movies, is their gradual acceptance of people who are different and unique!
Who are some of your favourite animated characters, and why?

6.00mm Crochet Hook
5.00mm Crochet Hook

      Hello!
      Use this pattern –> http://www.hopefulhoney.com/2014/09/frozen-olaf-inspired-hat-crochet-pattern.html
      But remove round 8, and round 21.
      That should fit.
      Hope this helps!
