Here's another baby TMNT hat - this one is Raphael. For the eyes I sewed on little black buttons on top of the white buttons. I like them better.

I love it Debi :)
ReplyDeleteThis one looks very good!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how something rather simple is recognizable as a cartoonfigure. Very well done!
This is too cute! But, please forgive my ignorance - what is TMNT?
ReplyDeleteMary Lou
Thanks Mary Lou. TMNT stands for 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' - it's a kids cartoon. :)
DeleteThanks ladies. :)
ReplyDeleteThe hat is very cute and I use to love watching that cartoon:)
ReplyDeleteThe black buttons do help make the eyes more defined. Good Job! And Debi, I want to thank you for offering to send me some of you scrap yarn to finish my scrappy granny square blanket. As it turned out I had enough yarn and got it finished. Your offer was appreciated and did not go unnoticed. Thanks sweetie!

Ok, now I am going to stop what I'm doing and make one for my 30 year old son for Christmas! Now I have to remember which one he liked! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteOh that hat is soo cute! Right now I'm struggling with a R2D2 hat, that a friend asked me to make for her son for Christmas - I so wished this boy would rather like TMNT than Star Wars!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I like the eyes; very sharp.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debi - I should have known that - they have been around for quite awhile!
ReplyDeleteCute as always you make !:)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debi, for your sweet comment. Belated Happy Birthday to you too:)Best wishes, Anna.
ReplyDeleteDo you do them for charity? Homeless?

Where can I get a pattern for TMNT hat please? Barbara Spencer
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara. I'll try to get the pattern on here in a few days. :)
DeleteThanks ladies. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Debie, I just discovered your site and I love the two Ninja baby hats you posted. i was just wondering why one pattern stated: 12 dc in third chain from hook and the second Ninja hat said: 11 dc in third chain from hook. Will be waiting for your reply, thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Hannelore. The different dc counts for the 1st rounds has to do with the sizing of the hats. I found that if I started with 12 dc for my grandson's hat, it would end up too big around for his head - so I switched it to 11 dc. :)
DeleteForgot to mention - only this hat is a baby hat - the other hat fits my 6 yr. old grandson. :)
DeleteThanks Debi for yor speedy reply, do you prefer dc to hdc on most of your hats? and what is the difference?
DeleteYou're welcome. Yes I prefer the dc stitch - they are just a little longer than the hdc stitch. :)
