In which a Monkey Hat gets finished

Finally...........

While my Mum was here over at Christmas, she started to knit a Monkey Hat.  Originally I wanted to make these to sell but this project proved a long and arduous task so back to the drawing board.

After I sewed it all together and tried it on Huffle's BIG head I realised it needed a mouth.....

once the mouth was sewn on, I realised it needed an I-Cord (thank goodness for YouTube) to finish it off......

I-cords and ties done, ends sewn in, I tried it on Smallest's head (whom it was intended for)....

I think they both look very cute.

This won't be something I will be making too many of as it seemed very fiddly and very time consuming.  I am now trying to create a new crochet pattern instead - possibly a little less trickier and a bit quicker.

For now, however, Smallest has a new Monkey Hat.  Thanks Moo for your help x
