"Perry" the Platypus Hat

I got an order for "Perry" the platypus hat. All I had to go by was a picture of what she wanted. I love to come up with my own patterns. Custom orders are the best. Well all of them are. But I love a challenge.

I started out with a basic beanie hat. Which is not hard at all.


I then had to figure out how to do the ties on the side. I just cut out a certain length of yarn and sewed them in. Then I braided them. Tied the ends and cut of the extra I don't need.


The eyes gave me a problem. I had to figure out a pattern for them. The first patter I did was just very weird looking. For some reason I did not take pictures of this process. I so should have. It was late and I could not think. So I went to bed and tried again in the morning. Finally I got it figured out. Sorry for picture. Some reason it keeps doing this. I have no clue why.

    Thank you Mom, I am loving all the requests and challenges I am getting. For me knitting and crocheting are relaxing and calming for me.
