Super Mario Hat

[photojenic]

My son (5yrs) has been asking me to make him a Super Mario hat. I used the Swirls cap pattern, with lots of modifications (and frogging!) and finally came up with one that looks pretty realistic. I also made him a Mario mustache from felt to complete the look.

 

The biggest pattern change I made was to use linked dc stitches instead of regular dc. I wanted to make the hat look as "masculine" as I could. I also took out the raised stitches that make the swirl. Other than that, I followed the pattern as written. Then I crocheted a white circle, and using surface crochet I made an "M," then sewed the patch to the cap. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.

Nah! Then they would each want one!

 

Nice job.

Thanks everyone! I made the mustache using stiff felt from the craft store. It sticks on using double sided tape. I think he likes the mustache almost more than the hat. *lol*

LOL The mustache totally completes the look. Great job!
