Cheshire cat hat

cheshire cat 1

So a friend told me that she found a great crochet Cheshire cat beanie but was very sad that she couldn’t buy it because it only came in child size. I think that may have been a hint. So I took that hint and ran with it. I hope this is what she had in mind 🙂

This pattern is written in American crochet notation and uses a 4mm hook and purple, pink, white and black 8ply wool.

  11. Thanks for enabling me to acquire new tips about desktops. I also have the belief that one of the best ways to maintain your notebook in perfect condition is a hard plastic case, as well as shell, that matches over the top of the computer. These kinds of protective gear are model unique since they are made to fit perfectly in the natural housing. You can buy all of them directly from the seller, or through third party sources if they are designed for your notebook, however its not all laptop can have a cover on the market. Again, thanks for your points.
