Printable Noibat Crochet Hat Pattern

Noibat Crochet Hat 

Noibat picture from "Future Authors" Pokemon card

This Christmas one of “Future Authors” requests was a Noibat hat, she says “ She is so cute!” So I looked around on-line and there wasn’t one we could buy at the time, and there was not a pattern we could buy either. 

This meant creating my own pattern.  I started thinking about how challenging it is to make gifts for my children because what they want doesn’t exist(ex: a Noibat hat) or is way out of our budget. 

So I decided to record my process as I created the hat so that if anyone else ran into the same dilemma as us, these patterns would hopefully make it easier for them. I have never tried to create a crochet pattern for someone else to use, so I hope this makes sense. If you have any questions please let me know and I will try to answer your question(s).
