Furry Beast Novelty Crochet Hats!

By -

UPDATE 2/5/23: These hats were remarkably...unpopular. They popped off on tumblr, but I didn't sell a single one even when I jammed the price down to like $10/each. I ended up doing a giveaway for them. Fun Fur is awful to work with, but it is...pretty fun...after? I liked these hats. They are silly and weird and cute, but if I've learned one thing over the years it's that I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT PEOPLE LIKE. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

A while back I made a custom hat for The Evil TeddyBear Podcast based on his mascot/logo. It turned out pretty cool, so I decided to use up my remaining Fun Fur and Festive Fur by making a few more animal hats.  I made a panda and then I made a few more of the furry hats (only the basic hat part) and then put them aside for later and neglected them for some weeks...maybe months!

I needed a little break from working on my Sailor Saturn costume, so I decided to take the plunge and get these hats done. I ended up making a deer, an owl and a cat. All four of these hats are currently available for purchase and for a few more days they're on sale for $5 off! They'll be back up to their normal price at the start of April.


I need to make a few tweaks to the owl eyes and then I'll also make the pattern(s) available for purchase. It'll be pretty cool and the file will contain all of the different eyes and other features so that other crocheters can customize their own hat.

So get over to the Etsy shop and check these hats out. Also keep your eyes peeled in the coming weeks for different owl hats. They won't be furry and they'll be much more detailed. I think owl faces are rad, but I really hate Fun Fur. Honestly. It's awful. A friend of mine was interested in a wookie and/or ewok hat made with Fun Fur, which I plan to attempt after I take a break from it for a long while.

FREE Crochet Pattern - The Fox Plush from The Little Prince

UPDATE 2/8/23: Formatting got weird when I change my blog theme and I have now fixed it!     UPDATED: 10/3/22, for clarity!   You can now get a printable PDF version of this as a PAY WHAT YOU WANT pattern on my Ko-Fi here .     The finished Fox is about 23" from nose to tail. My gauge was approx. 4 sts/inch and 4 rows/inch and I chose to stuff the body and tail rather loosely, legs a bit more firm, but it's up to you. I like a floppy Fox. In The Little Prince (the Netflix movie version), Plushy Fox has orange ears with white inside and the black just around the edge. I chose to make my original Foxes (pictured to the right) with just black ears for silly aesthetic reasons, but you can easily sub in your orange for the backs of your Fox's ears. The new Fox I made had movie-accurate ears (below).   If you're not a crafty-type person, you stumbled across this pattern, and you want a Fox, don't hesitate to message me via Facebook . I'm pretty friendly and

  UPDATE 9/21/23: Bethesda rolled out an inferior Wilby pattern the other day, if you didn't know. If you'd like to compare it to my version, which is larger (I was shooting for accurate game size) then you can get that pattern here . I have been playing a great deal of Starfield. I am constantly encumbered by toys and potted plants. It's fine. Give me some pew-pew weapons, a spaceship, and let me collect cute plushies and plants for hours on end, which I'm piling in the middle of The Frontier because my cargo hold and captain's storage are full. Everything is full. Piles are the answer. Also, organs. Oh, my God. My dilemma with how to offload organs. Not the instrument, my dudes, I'm talking internal ones, which I steal. Anywho! Free pattern! Because I am nice and also Bethesda loves the copyright police when fans of their games want to make a few dollarbucks. It is what it is. Just like my in-game hoarding. You can though get a pay-what-you-want PDF version fr

This is mostly a joke pattern…or is it??? I whipped it up pretty quick because I thought it was funny, so if you want to expand upon or improve the pattern then by all means do so! Then share it with me because it will make me lol. You can tag my Facebook page or Instagram @michiarr ! I love seeing stuff people make with my dumb patterns! IMPORTANT: This cup will not keep your drinks hot nor cold. In fact, I strongly suggest that you do not put any liquids in this tumbler. The straw doesn’t work, and the lid doesn’t even come off. I mean, you could make the lid so it does come off if you want to, but still don’t put any liquids in this, please. Materials and Supplies ·          Worsted weight yarn in desired cup color, plus some gray, and some white      o    YARDAGE: less than 300 yards of each, way less than 300 of the gray and white ·          Stuffing material ·          Size G crochet hook ·          Yarn needle ·          Pins (optional, but recommended for po
