Are you ready for some football?

Benjamin, like every other kid, loves playing outside. I love put my children in ridiculous hats. Here is the result of our two loves coming together. Now if I could just get him to want to wear a hat, that would be great. He wore this one for all of 5 minutes and in that time took it off about 10 times. I know he'd wear it if it were cold enough, but he's got North Dakota blood in his veins and it's going to take a lot more than "chilly" to get him on board.

To make this hat I sort of combined two patterns from the blog Repeat Crafter Me using the basic idea from this football hat pattern and the sizing from this sports beanie. I left off the earflaps and ties because he already has a winter hat with both. If you crochet at all check out her blog. She has a lot of really cute patterns and they are free.
