Earlier this week I posted a cute and fuzzy Crochet Monster Blanket using the new Bernat Pipsqueak Stripes yarn. I had a little bit left over and loved the turquoise part of the color “playdate” so I used it to make a Llama Hat! I only had enough for 0-3month size so yuou may want to stick with the original Bernat Pipsqueak yarn that comes in solid shades (shop all colors HERE). And if Pipsqueak yarn is just too intimidating for you, you can always make this hat in any worsted weight yarn!
Materials:
– Bernat Pipsqueak Yarn (1 skein of the solid color). Shop all colors HERE on Yarnspirations.com
– Caron Simply Soft yarn in White and Black. Shop HERE on Yarnspirations.com
– Size H Crochet Hook for the hat
– Size G Crochet Hook for the facial features
– Tapestry Needle
Note: For bigger sizes, you will want to use an H hook for the facial features and I also suggest a bulkier yarn like Bernat Super Value.
Tips for working with Pipsqueak yarn: Keep your stitches loose and run your fingers along the previous stitches to figure out where the next will go. You can actually pretty easily feel for where the tops of each stitch are. You could actually pop your finger through a space under the stitch. So the place where you finger pops through is where you make your next stitch! Easy!

When i take a look on your site, it’s always verry nice.
All your patterns and lovely yarns you use, love it.
Have a lovely day, greets Arja from Netherlands
I actually use pipsqueak yarn with your polar bear hat pattern, so if people wanted to use a larger hook for the hat, that pattern is perfect to use instead! That’s what I plan to do. 🙂
That’s a cute one! really love it. I will try to replicate it.
I have a question in my memory that i get while write on the other drive because of write protection so i want to know that how to remove write protection from pen drive in windows 7 operating system without taking much time.

I’ll never ever figure out where the next will go.
The sizing of these patterns are all off. I made the 9-12 month one and it was way too large, more like an adult size.
very creative article and so informative to us.
