Crochet Kids Hats in Richmond Football Tigers colours

The first hat has a pattern which can be found here.

This was made for Darcy who is 5.

This hat was made for Bella who is 3.

There was no pattern, I made it up as I went along.

This is my hat model revealed.

This hat was made for Lily who is 7.
No pattern once again, I made it up as I went along

Just thought I'd sneak this one in.

It's a cow of a hat for a baby.

You can use 1 large button or 2 or 3 smaller buttons. Button placement is entirely up to you. I folded down my flap and sewed a button on the flap it’s self and made a chain length to suit the button size for fastening.
Another option is to sew the buttons under the flap area so the opposite end of the neck warmer sits under the flap. Enjoy the pattern
