Thank you so much to everyone for taking part in my 10-day pattern giveaway. I have had so much fun reading all of your comments!
Congratulations to yesterday’s winners of the firefighter helmet pattern. If you didn’t win but still want the pattern, remember all patterns are buy one, get one 50% off when you use promo code BOGOHALF in the pattern store through July 31st.

The last prize in my giveaway is my newest pattern, the Worsted Weight Triceratops Hat. I wrote this pattern because a lot of people loved my Triceratops Bomber Hat that was featured in Inc. magazine, but they wanted to make it in a worsted weight yarn. This hat had its own little bit of publicity in an “Etsy Finds” email for a Halloween costume preview. It is also a lot of fun for an everyday hat in cooler weather. The pattern includes instructions to crochet this hat in six sizes so that everyone can have a fun dinosaur hat!

I can’t believe my 10-day pattern giveaway is almost over! Congrats to yesterday’s winners of the frog prince hat pattern. I loved reading all your comments – thanks for sharing!

The Firefighter Helmet Pattern is up for grabs today in the giveaway. My favorite thing about crochet is that you can pretty much make anything you can dream up. My kids love to pretend to be firefighters, so I figured why not make firefighter helmets out of yarn. It took me months to figure out exactly how I wanted this hat to look, and I am so happy with the result. It has been a huge hit with my kids and their friends. This hat is made with two strands of worsted weight yarn and contains four sizes to fit everyone.

Today’s prize in my 10-day pattern giveaway is the Frog Prince Hat Pattern. This hat features a rolled-up brim which forms the frog lip, probably the most kissable frog lip ever! The hat is great for everyday, but also makes a fun photo prop or costume. Leave the crown off for a plain frog hat, or add flowers or bows to make it a frog princess. This pattern is made with super bulky yarn and contains six sizes to fit newborns through adults.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the breezy newsboy beanie pattern giveaway yesterday and congratulations to the winners! I’m really excited about day seven of my 10-day pattern giveaway because the big button flowers are really fun.

The included flowers are a dahlia, a sunflower, a hydrangea, and a peony. Your options for accessorizing are limitless with this pattern.

Thanks again to everyone for participating in my 10-day pattern giveaway! I’ve been having fun reading your comments, and I really appreciate you being facebook fans and sharing the link with your friends. It seems the votes were pretty much split between earflaps up or down on the ladybug hat from yesterday’s post, and that is the fun part of the hat – you can wear it either way. Congrats to the winners!

The prize for today’s giveaway is the Breezy Newsboy Beanie Pattern. This is a great hat for the spring and summer months when you want to keep the sun out of your eyes and off your head, but you don’t want to be too warm. The pattern includes instructions to complete the hat with or without the newsboy brim and contains five sizes to fit everyone.

We are just about halfway through my 10-day pattern giveaway, and today’s prize is the Ladybug Earflap Hat Pattern.

One of my favorite things to do when designing a pattern is to take a particular style element and turn it into an iconic part of an animal. Just like I turned the bomber hat flap into a face for the penguin hat, I took an earflap hat and turned the earflaps into ladybug wings that can be tied up to resemble a ladybug with little antennae, or worn down to keep ears extra toasty. The pattern includes five sizes to fit everyone.

HOW TO ENTER:

You have three chances to win this pattern! Leave a separate comment on this blog post below for each entry to get your three chances:

1. Tell me how you would wear this hat, earflaps down or tied up.
2. Like Micah Makes on Facebook (just post “AAF” if you are already a fan).
