We had finished up our Christmas shopping, but I could tell my sweet supportive hubby wasn't entirely sold on my idea for his grandpa. I was looking around my bookmarks for ideas when I found Paula's pattern again.
Inspiration struck!
This man is VERY (I can't emphasize this enough) proud of his Irish heritage, his mother was also a crocheter so he enjoys that a few of us in the family crochet, and he has a wild goofy side. Put it all together, and here's his Leprechaun Top Hat!
I'll try to follow up with a picture of him wearing it if I can.
(Thanks, Paula, for sharing your pattern!! It was a blast to make it!)

ReplyDeleteWhat an AWESOME idea and it sure looks like a leprechaun top hat.
May I ask your permission to post it on my blog (and link back to this post)?I would love to show off your interpretation of my pattern :0}
Absolutely! Go for it.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you like it. ;-)
Love your idea...nothing like a bit of cheeky fun at Christmas!
ReplyDeleteMindy,
ReplyDeleteHe will absolutely love it! Think you can get him to wear it to church?
I really hope so--at least once! I could see him wearing it to staff meeting just to be crazy, but we'll see how willing he is to wear it in public any more than that. ;-)

Oh gosh, that's the cutest thing! Sounds like it will fit grandpa well.
ReplyDeleteHa! Hubby agrees with you, Nicolette!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marie Anne--now I just hope it fits his head, too! Otherwise...there's a snowman that was just made that needs a hat. =)
Absolutely Awesome!!!!!!
