I love giving homemade gifts at Christmas because they really are a gift from the heart. While we were at our vacation home this fall, I searched for a pattern for our grandkids that would reinforce our desire to have them visit us in Florida, spending at least a day at Disney World. I found just what I was looking for on
Ravelry!
I downloaded the
Mr & Mrs Mouse Hat patterns designed by Elizabeth Roggasch published in The Little Bucket Bouquet. The pattern is $5 which is quite inexpensive considering it is sized from newborn to adult. This is a pattern that can easily be modified but I think it is cute the way it is, very much Disney-like if using those colours.
The pattern is very straight forward, easy to crochet. There is a fair amount of finish work especially for the girl's hats but it isn't difficult just a bit time consuming. I used RedHeart Super Saver black, petal pink, cherry red and soft white using a size 4.25 mm crochet hook. I made one toddler size and three child size hats. I was rather pleased with the results and the grandkids loved them!
