Teddy Bear Beanie

Teddy Bear Beanie

Its obviously off season for crocheted woollen hats here in Australia, especially in Brisbane. So I have been searching my brain for what I could make that might sell at markets and on Madeit.com.au.  Newborn hats and photo props are always in season I guess so that is what I am going to concentrate on during the warmer months. Also I will be trying to create some of my own little hats and get patterns down to share on Ravelry......oh I would love that!
So here is my Teddy Bear hat. The main section of the hat was my own creation, and proudly seamless.
The ears were beyond my imagination or ability to make on the spot so I made them using "Osito Infant Bear Hat" by Mia Zamora Johnson - Via Ravelry.
I used Bendigo Wool Mill  - 100% Cotton - Latte. Its an 8ply yarn so I doubled up the yarn and this works well for a more chunky look.  Its such a soft yarn, perfect for little babies.
