Sleepy Bear Hat

The Sleepy Bear Hat is the perfect accessory for the bear lover in your life (big or small).

The hat is worked in the round from the top down, increasing to form the crown and hat body. Next, the earflaps are worked followed by the hat edging. The ears, bow, and nose/mouth are worked separately and sewn on. The eyes are also sewn on. Finally, the ties are added and braided to complete the hat.
