Crochet Beanie

There is something I need to say. I fail at crocheting hats. I have made only 1 successful hat in all of my crochet career, and if you ask my sister she might disagree with me on that. 

Until now. Yay for other talented blogger/crocheters!!

Cute Penguin Hat

 My sister Irene recently turned 12 years old. I had just finished my previous project, so right away I started searching the web and Pinterest to find the perfect hat for Irene. I saw a lot of really cute animal hats, but I wanted something a little bit different. When I saw this one I knew that it was the one! It is very cute, but not as complicated as a lot of the ones that I saw.

I had a few challenges along the way, like not knowing what a magic ring is(causing the top of the hat to stick up), not having orange yarn(I had to create my own with thin weaving yarn) and having to spray paint purple buttons black. But after it was all done I think it looked pretty good.

Pictures by me :)
