On the Birdie Band Wagon!


A while back I posted a picture of an "Angry Birds" hat that I made for my son L. He loves it and several people have requested the pattern so I decided to go ahead and write it down. I'm sure that it isn't without issues. Again, I'm new at writing down my crazy, spur of the moment, "I can make that!" moments!  If you have problems, please message me and let me know so that I can correct the pattern. As always, thanks for visiting my blog, and Happy Hooking!!


Angry Birds Hat
Supplies Needed:
Size I hook and a yarn needle
Red yarn
White yarn
Orange yarn
Black yarn
Small amount of stuffing


*PSM – Place Stitch Marker* (I recommend moving a stitch marker up as you go, you can use an actual stitch marker or a safety pin or a small length of yarn. )

Basic HDC Beanie with 4 rows of White, 7 rows of Red and then basic decrease and top closure. The beanie can be made any size, so alter it to fit anyone you like! If you have trouble, just message me at mamanettiescrochet@gmail.com and we can alter it together!  The Angry Bird’s face will be great no matter the hat size!

    1. Hey Wendy!

      This one is for a toddler...about 18 to 24 months, but the face doesn't change, and the top feathers won't change if you want to make it larger just make the basic hat larger. email me at mamanettiescrochet@gmail.com if you need a pattern for that. :)
