crochet minnie and mickey mouse earflap hat pattern

I got a request from a friend asking if I could make her daughter a Minnie Mouse hat and her son a Mickey Mouse hat. Instantly I got excited and started to question why I never made KK a Minnie hat because she has always loved her.



Once I got to thinking I decided to use the same earflap hat pattern that I used for the Mike Wazowski pattern, but of course I added two ears to the top!


For the Minnie hat I crocheted a pink bow and attached some tiny while polka dots and for the Mickey hat I added two white buttons.


I think they turned out awesome, I have even had a few requests to make the minnie mouse hat in red which you could do as well. 

If you would like to purchase one you can find them HERE  on my Etsy shop :)
