Crochet Chiq

Meet Melody, the friendly Piano playing monster. She sings and plays soft lullaby's to help children sleep instead of hiding under their beds! Pretty impressive since she had no fingers or arms and she always has a smile, even when 2 year old's scream they don't want to go to bed! Before I share the pattern I would like to share the inspiration behind the bold texture and colors!  Kathleen is a lovely and creative person I have had the pleasure to get to know on ........

The first hat is red heart soft in sea foam green and done in the puff stitch. The second hat is in Caron's Simply Soft in Pink  is just a HDC beanie with a trim. The third Hat is Caron's Simply Soft in Black and a DC hat with teddy ears. The third hat is a DC hat. The last hat is made with Red heart Soft in Grey starts like a round granny and then a shell.
