Top 'o the mornin' to ya! St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner and my little boy wants to be prepared! As I was reading through Donna's Dozen: Lucky You creative ideas for St. Patrick's Day blog, I came across the St. Patrick's Day Chapeau pattern and questioned how could I make this for a 4 month old baby. I skimmed through the pattern and realized it uses 2 strands of Super Saver yarn for the hat. I was feeling LUCKY so I tried the pattern with only 1 strand of Super Saver yarn and what do you know...it fits my little leprechaun! I followed the steps in the pattern for the ""Small Size"" crocheting the hat and brim first using a H8/5mm crochet hook instead. Moving on to the Hat Band. Then to the Buckle. Then sewing the buckle to front of hat band. Then on to making the 3 leaf clover (I only made 1 with the stem). Then sewing the clover to the band and the band to the hat. Here's my little leprechaun wearing his St. Patrick's Day Chapeau. My mom was a kindergarten and first grade teacher when I grew up and she had a song for pretty much every occasion. The St. Patrick's Day song she would sing was and still is my absolute favorite. I just wish I could find the song online to share but after searching for so long I just gave up. All I could find in my search were the lyrics. Here you go: Little Leprechaun, little leprechaun, little leprechaun, hello.Little Leprechaun, little leprechaun, you're a leprechaun, I know.You're a cute little elf, if I say so myself,When you pop up in green every March 17.Little Leprechaun, little leprechaun, little leprechaun, hello.Though you'll disappear for another year, you'll be back again, I know. -""St. Patrick's Day Songs that Tickle Your Funny Bone"" By Ruth Roberts & Bill Katz Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!
