I have to admit that my interest in dinosaurs has definitely increased since having two little boys. Thanks for playing along in yesterday’s giveaway and sharing your opinions. I hope the winners will enjoy making triceratops hats! 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.

The Teddy Bear Beanie Pattern is up for grabs in today’s giveaway. It is great for keeping little noggins warm, but it is also lightweight and breathable. The main portion of the hat features a simple texture that can be customized for a girl or boy with either of the two edging options. The pattern includes four sizes to fit newborns through 24 months.

This is my favorite hat to make for donating to the local hospital. It is quick and easy to make and just looks so sweet on a newborn.

Next up is the Triceratops Bomber Hat. This one is a real show-stopper, and gets lots of compliments wherever it goes. It was featured in the April 2011 issue of Inc. magazine and got a lot of attention at that photo shoot. It is fun for everyday, as a photo prop or even as a costume. This pattern is made with super bulky yarn and contains three sizes, to fit toddlers through adults.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the penguin hat pattern giveaway yesterday and congratulations to the winners! I’m really excited about day two of the giveaway because the train conductor hat is one of my favorites.

With two little boys, we are huge train fans at our house. In fact, my 2 year-old’s favorite phrase is “All aboard!” He loves this hat, but it isn’t just for little boys. The train conductor hat looks great on everyone!

There are just so many different things to do with this pattern. You can make this in different colors, leave it plain, or add a newsboy strap, flower or other embellishment. The pattern includes instructions for five sizes, a picture tutorial for working the hat pleats, and instructions to make the strap and doodle flower.

Here are your three chances to win this pattern! You need to leave a separate comment below for each entry to get your three chances:

1. Tell me what you would do with this pattern. Would you make a traditional train conductor hat, or would you make it in a different color? Or with a newsboy strap, flower or other embellishment?
2. Like Micah Makes on Facebook (just post “AAF” if you are already a fan).
3. Share a link to this blog post on your Facebook page or blog.

In celebration of the official opening of my pattern store, I am having a huge 10-day giveaway! What better way to start my pattern giveaway than with my very first pattern?!

The concept for this hat started when a friend of mine saw a picture of a bomber hat from the side and said, “Oh my gosh, is that a penguin hat?” I replied, “No, but that’s a really great idea!”

And so the Penguin Bomber Hat was born. The front flap of a normal bomber hat was turned into a penguin face shape with buttons for eyes and a beak, and the standard squarish earflaps of a bomber hat were turned into wings.

This hat is adorable for little ones but can also be great for Pittsburgh Penguins hockey fans, Linux Tux lovers, or anyone else with a penguin for a mascot. I think pretty much everyone likes penguins! Plus the pattern has instructions for six sizes so everyone can have one.

So here are your three chances to win this pattern! Leave a separate comment below for each entry:

1. Tell me who you would make this hat for.
2. Like Micah Makes on Facebook (just post “AAF” if you are already a fan).
3. Share a link to this blog post on your Facebook page or blog.
