He was so excited and luckily I was nearly finished. I made the eyes and the mouth and showed him how to braid as I added the ties. He loves it.
I decided to add Minion Hats to my etsy store and they are posted as a 'made to order' item, so people can get exactly what they want.
I can't stop making them, so I have made a preschool size one for a little girl and I am currently completing a newborn-3 months one that I think I will put only one eye on. :-)
I was lucky to find a couple of patterns online and adjusted them to suit what I wanted. I would like to thank Repeat Crafter Me for getting me started on this project. I will post pics of the others when they are finished.
