My son (on the right) and his cousin were born 5 days apart. I made each of them an Elf Hat for their tiny little newborn heads. Now they are celebrating their first birthday, and again I made them matching hats. We have to make them wear these things while they’re young and can’t say “no” or “hell no” or “mom, no way, I’ll look like a dork!!”
My hats were inspired by this pattern, though my decreases at the top are different (for that distinctive “chicken butt” shape). I crocheted the drumsticks because that was so much easier than knitting. The hats are some inexpensive cotton from JoAnns, because that’s the yarn I could find in this lovely “plucked poultry carcass” colorway.

Love the birthday photograph. What cuties! The hats are very creative and I like how you modified the butt, lol.
Love their hats!! Too cute!
GAHHK! That is brilliant!!!! What is better than one chicken hat, well two of course. You have outdone yourself my dear.
I need to show you my chicken photos someday. I know, I know that sounds like such a pick-up line…
This is the best picture! I love them in their chicken butt hats. They are wonderful. I think you may have a problem though… how are you going to out do these hats? Oh well you have a year, I know you will think of something hilarious. 🙂
I’d like to know why a chicken hat… but noooo, don’t worry. They look so cute!
But I’m afraid one day they’ll definitively rebel!!
omg, these are hilarious!
