Goblin Earflap Hat Pattern

For some reason with the colors of this hat it reminded me of a Goblin. I made this as a Yule gift for my friend Kathrine (Kathrine: you knew it was for you ;) lol) I wanted to make a hat that was long enough for a scarf but wasn't super bulky toward the top of the hat. The tail is skinnier than the other hats I have made in the past. I like it. Less time to make lol. What do you think? I have the pattern available in My Etsy Shop for $3.00 if anyone is interested :)

Doctor Who Crochet Bag

Here is one of the large projects I have been working on. (well large for me since it is all single crochet) I have been working on it off and on since June. I have a short attention span lol. What do you think?





Here is a link that might help if you don't know how to use a chart

Sew straps together
Attach yarn to where you sewed the straps and sc around the edge repeat the same on the other side (this makes the trim look smoother, also you could make the trim a different color for an added effect)
Sew button on and make your loop however you want. I just chained 10 and attached a loop to the back. I think I might make a thicker loop later.
