Today is a special day… It’s my 2 year Blogiversary! I’ve been blogging for exactly 2 years and I am so overwhelmed with all the support you have shown me. Some of you have been here from the beginning and some of you are new to my blog. Either way, I am grateful that you are here following along. I am in total shock at how quickly my blog and Facebook page has grown over the past couple of months. Thank you for all the positive feedback you give me when I post something new. I truly appreciate every “like,” “share,” and “comment” and I am in awe that I have almost 40,000 Facebook followers! My blog and Facebook page has grown to the point where unfortunately I am unable to respond to every e-mail, comment, or post on my wall. But I am thankful for all of you who try to help each other when someone has a question. I am amazed at this wonderful online community of crafters and crocheters. Please continue to help me by helping each other. You are always welcome to reply to others comments and post your projects or links to your shops on my Facebook wall or in the comments. This will enable me to continue working hard to post new craft tutorials, free crochet patterns, and crock pot recipe ideas.

With black yarn, attach yarn and SC around the entire bottom edge of the hat (including earflaps). Fasten off and weave in ends. Cut 6 long strands of black yarn, pull yarn halfway through last loop of the earflaps (you now have 12 strands). Knot, braid and knot again at the end of your braid. Trim ends of braided tails so yarn is even. Do this for both earflaps.

ALSO NOTE: The guitar template can be printed in different sizes. You can adjust the scale percentage in your printer setting. This is what it looks like on my computer:
When you have your pieces cut out, you will want to first sew on the smaller white guitar portion onto the black with a piece of 2-ply yarn (separate your 4-ply worsted weight yarn) and a small tapestry needle. Stitch along the edges.
