The Monster Hat is perfect for big and small monster loves alike.

The hat is worked in the round from the top down, increasing to form the crown and hat body. Next, the earflaps are worked followed by the hat edging. The eyes, mouth, and spikes are worked separately and sewn onto the hat. Finally, the ties are added and braided to complete the hat.
