PATTERN: Scarves for my in-laws

Both of these were improvised (no patterns used). I used a 6.5mm/K hook with bulky yarn. I used about 1.5 skeins of the suede yarn (approx. 180 yards) and an entire skein of the homespun (approx. 180 yards) and each one took 6-8 hours.

Castle Crashers Knight Beanie

This was a custom hat made for an Etsy customer. Upon making it, I realized
1) I have gotten MUCH better at crochet and my stitches are much tighter (yay!)
2) The eyes are a bit wonky as in the original pattern, so I changed them for this and have updated both the PDF and the post with the new eyes.

My husband had a bit of fun and put the hat on a big plush lion, hehe. :)

Moogle (Final Fantasy) hat for Samantha (not me :P)

I was trying to figure out the perfect creature for a hat for my friend's daughter and decided on a Moogle from Final Fantasy. A search around the internet came up with no crochet patterns, so I improvised this one.
