This hat is perfect for a quick Halloween decor or costume! I decided last minute I was going to be a scarecrow and couldn't find a pattern anywhere for free online. The ones I did gind, the links were broken or the blogs were no longer available. I made this and posted it on a fb site thinking at first the hat was kind of lousy, but it received so much love I decided to try and write my first pattern! I hope you have fun creating this like I did, and please post pictures of your own hats when they are finished, and let me know if the pattern has any flaws, because I havent had anyone test it yet lol.
