Three-Eyed, Big Nosed, Spotted Alien Hats

When my grandsons were younger, each year I crocheted a hat for them for one of their gifts at Christmas. We live in a snowy state - typically - and winters are cold here; I wanted their little heads to be warm. Plus, if you have to wear a hat, I figure it might as well be fun . . . and a little silly and crazy is fine, too!

One year I came up with a three-eyed, big nose, spotted alien pattern . . . and crocheted three hats. The boys opened their gifts and I was able to get them to sit still for a few moments for a photo . . . so, what do you think?

I think the boys looked great and it was especially fun to see as soon as my youngest grandsons (two years old at the time) put his hat on, he began growling/roaring . . . which is apparently the sound a three-eyed, big nosed, spotted alien makes!

That year every place we went when they boys wore their hats, people stopped and talked about how much they loved the hats - it is a good thing my grandsons are not shy! They were warm and able to wear fun, silly hats, too! This grandma's "hat project" was a success for 2015!
