Moogle Crochet Hat

My husband loves Final Fantasy games so I decided to crochet him this moogle hat. Moogles are so cute :) This hat is more of a guy's hat than a girl's hat. I don't have a guy mannequin head though and the hubby wasn't in the mood to model LOL. What do you think? Here is a pic of what a Moogle looks like for those of you who don't know. This person drew a vary good pic of it. Click Here for Pic Moogles are from the game Final Fantasy :)

Moogle Hat
by: AprilDraven

for personal use only

Gauge: 4 inches = 13 stitches and 14 rows
My head size is 22 and a half inches around so adjust your hook size accordingly. Remember yarn stretches a little bit so this hat will fit inches bigger too.

Yarn: regular 4 ply worsted yarn

H hook

Abbreviations:

Sc: single crochet
Ss: slip stitch
FO: Fasten off

*NOTE: use a marker and work in rounds*

With Main color ch 1 or form magic circle
