Simple Chunky Bear Hat

My littlest man asked me for a chunky bear hat… How could I refuse that cute 6 year old toothless grin?  Of course, I whipped one up in less than an hour.  This is a super simple hat that you can do while sitting in the pick up line at school.  🙂

I’m thrilled to share this FREE pattern with you!  Don’t forget to share your version and tag me on Facebook MB Stitches and on Instagram MB_Stitches!!
