Lil' Goblin Hat : Free Crochet Pattern

Way back in 2010 when Calleigh's Clips and Crochet Creations was just starting, I was commissioned to create a Goblin Hat for a little boy's Halloween Costume. You can read about that on this post or in my Ravelry Projects. Well here 6 years later someone found the picture and asked me to recreate it for their little newborn. I had to re-re-create the design as it's had been so long! LOL I couldn't remember what I'd done and I hadn't followed a pattern. So I though now would be a good time to write out the pattern as I made it. Although I'm a few days late for Halloween now you have plenty of time to make it for next year, plus I turned it into an Enchanting Elf Stripped Hat just in time for Christmas! PS: If that link doesn't work it will be loaded sometime Friday/Saturday!! :)
