Finished (Creepy) Crabby Cap

So I'm very proud to say I finally finished this hat I've been working on for my nephew for quite awhile now. I had finished it once before but unfortunately the pattern was too small for his head. So I unwound the hat itself and remade it making up my own pattern as i went. I'm very happy with the way it came out. The idea itself isn't mine. It came from an issue of Crochet Today (July/August 2012 I believe) which is still available on their website (www.crochettoday.com). The original size of the cap would fit most toddlers, possibly up to 3 years old. But if you're like me and have a 2 1/2 year old nephew the size of a 5 year old I would definitely recommend scrapping the pattern for the cap and either use a different pattern for a large size or if you're more experienced or just want to wing it, make up your own. I did also want to say I still have to realign and resew the crab to the hat and fiddle with the eyes to make them stand up, not so creepily but that's a minor detail. All in all I love Crochet Today and all the inspiration it gives me! And I can't wait to present my munchkin his Crabby Cap.

 Mr. Crabby seeeesss you.
