Fight Night 12/30/2011

Last night was the last fight night for 2011, we spent it in our usual manner; the guys in the living room of my parents house and the women in the backroom watching TLC. We were there for an extended length of time, i.e. we didn't get home until 11:45 PM; during this time I was able to crochet my little guy a frog hat. Below is a picture of Garik's new frog hat.




To make this hat I used Lion Brand: Jiffy in Apple Green (MC), Black (A), and White (B) and an I (5.5m) crochet hook. My favorite hat pattern (which loosely fits my 5 month old), which I used for the frog hat is as follows:


With MC Create a magic circle, dc 10
R1: 2 dc twice in each st; sl st into first dc (20); ch 2
R2: *2 dc, 1 dc in next st* Repeat (30); sl st into first dc, ch 2
R3: *2 dc, dc in next 2 st* Repeat (40); sl st into first dc, ch 2
R4 - R9: *dc in each st* Repeat (40); sl st into first dc, ch 1
R10: *sc in each st* Repeat (40); sl st into first sc, with A ch 1
R11: (with A), *sc in each st* Repeat (40); sl st into first sc, ch 1
R12: *sc in next 3 sc, lsc in next st* Repeat (40); fasten off and weave in ends


To Make Frog Eyes
With B Create a Magic Circle, sc 8; sl st into first sc, with A ch 1
R1: (with A), *2 sc in each st* Repeat (16), ch 1
R3: (with MC), * sc in each st * Repeat (14), ch 1, turn
R2: (with MC), *2 sc, 1 sc in next st* Repeat (21), fasten off


*Repeat for second eye*


I personally used the MC, followed the eye pattern above and created a solid green back for my eyes.


Sew eyes onto the hat, and you have yourself a frog hat. 


I personally think this wasn't bad for a fight night's work.
