Kwazii Cat Octonaut Hat

Hello everyone I've started crocheting again here in Germany. At the moment my daughter is obsessed with the Octonauts and so I've made her a Kwazii Cat hat, her favourite character from the series.
Here's a pic of the character himself.

I've never made something up without a patterns so it's been an interesting crochet adventure. Please don't ask for a pattern because I have no idea how I managed to make this. Maybe one day I'll learn how to write a pattern.

After I posted it on facebook a friend commissioned one for her daughter who also loves Octonauts. This is how that one turned out.

I like this one better and I'm thinking of undoing my daughters and adding the better looking hat and ears.

Getting Ready for Christmas, Pepa Pig Beanie

When you are a crafter especially a crocheter Christmas preparations seem to start very early. It seems you can never have enough time to make all the handmade gifts you have planned. This year I am planing to make beanies for my nephews and nieces.  I have asked them all what their favourite cartoon character in  order to know what kind of novelty hat I will make them. One of them loves Pepa pig so I've made this beanie below.

It's pretty cute and funny at the same time because of the snout but I did have lots of fun making it. Wish I knew how to write a pattern then I could make it again or share it with others. 

The next challenge I have is a Fireman Sam helmet/ beanie. Wish me luck!
