I was finally in the studio filming, and of course my first new project fresh-off-the-hook is my Misfit Monster Hat for my sweet boy!  I *know* you can’t wait to make one of your own! The instructions for additional sizes are listed in the pattern and shared in the video tutorial below!

View this video tutorial to learn how to make this hat:

My dad will continue to be the videographer, editor, and photographer for our videos when I move away.
Support YARNutopia today so we can continue to bring you clear, quality crochet tutorials even after I move into my new home!
There will be an added expense of more travel and hopefully this won’t deter our ability to provide consistent videos on a weekly basis.
