PS. I forgot the eybrows in the pattern, and can't figure out how to edit the post. The addition to the original PDF says, "Embroider eyebrows at a slant above each eye. (See photo at the beginning of the pattern for placement.)"

Thanks for the patterns as I crocheted one for my granddaughter from a pattern on KP but don't remember where it is located for those who crochet. Granddaughter wore it to church and everyone wanted one!

Sarah,
You're great at these! When are you going to do the one with the golden wings?

Yikes! You mean there's ANOTHER one?? I've got the blue bird on my schedule, but I may have to stop there. I just HAD to join the Huggable Bear marathon, have to finish a cardigan for a granddaughter's birthday, and have twin grandbabies due in September! So much yarn; so little time! :) Sarah

I can't figure out which of the basic hat patterns to use. Please advise -- by the specific name in the Kody May Knits blog list. Thanks.
I wrote out her pattern with few changes in the pattern for the hat that I posted. I just wanted to give her credit for the pattern. Sarah
 
Thank you so much for doing the piggy hat. I will be making it for my granddaughter. She will be spending time with us this summer. I want to make it before she comes, a surprise.
I noticed you were doing the bear KAL. I just have one paw to finish for the need a hug bear. Then the hard part, put it together. It was so much fun to make that I have yarn for a second and third one. I need to do the hat by the end of July even though she won't beable to wear it until winter. I am sure it will be a hit. I will be putting ear flaps like I did with the red angry bird for my grandson. I have a granddaughter that wants the bomber.
Congratulations on the twins when they come.

Thanks for the kudos. It was a much different pattern than the birds. It will look cute with the ear flaps!
 
I am making the Angry Bird golf club cover right now. Do you think I could make the other patterns into golf club covers buy using the same pattern but changing the colors and the facial expressions on them? I think it would be cute to have a few sticking out of the bag.

I think basically all you'd have to change is the design of the cover/hat. The chart should work especially if you used smaller needles and thinner yarn -- a DK or fingerling yarn instead of a worsted. You might have to "shrink" the pattern a little -- reducing the size of the eyebrows, space between the eyes, etc. But I'd use the same colors as you'd use for the originals. If you change the colors of the different critters, they won't look like the iconic angry birds/pigs. Would love to see your results!!

I would sure love to know how you will put ear flaps on your hat. I haven't quite figured out how to do this. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I like your idea of ear flaps. Thank you.

I usually start with an ear flap on a circular, just a couple of stitches increasing on eash side everyother row to the size I want. I cut the yarn and do another one on the same circular. I then check the stitches on the hat and divide them approximately 2/3 or the stitches for the front, cast on that many stitches, pick up the first ear flap that I had made and then cast on the last 1/3 of the stitches and join with the second ear flap in the round. Then I just follow the pattern. That is what I did for Angry Bird. My pig will be different because my granddaughter just wants a pig so hers will be pink. For the strings I just cut some lengths of yarn, draw them throuogh with a crochet hook and braid them and tie a knot at the bottom.
I hope this makes sense. I just do it from the top of my head.
