I actually finished the crocheting a couple of weeks ago, but I was worried about how the sewing would turn out. The muzzle looked a little small, and the nose looked a little large, but last night I decided to just bite the bullet and sew it. I did the muzzle first, stretched it out, pinned it on and sewed it, and it turned out fine! The ears were next (sewing the whole thing involved a few dozen trips to the mirror and back to check placement, but it was worth it), then the eyes and nose.
I think when sewing things made of bits, I get all worried, but then spend so much time checking the placement of each bit that it works out fine. Going back and forward to the mirror to check every piece was a bit of a pain, but I'm so pleased with how it turned out!
Seriously, I've been walking around the house with this hat on all last night, and the first thing I did this morning was to put it on and look at myself in the mirror. This hat makes me smile, which is what makes it so awesome! :D
I'm so excited, I can't wait till it's winter. Why does it have to be July just now *pouts pathetically and stamps foot* I want cold weather so I can wear it outside!!! :D

That's so cool! (But winter comes soon enough...)
Hurrah for silly hats! :-D I love it!
fabulous! my wee girl wanted one of these last year, but couldn't find a decent knitted one. BUT I've crocheted my first hat this weekend so I could maybe attempt one like this now! Well done! and winter does come soon enough....
It takes a fabulous person to wear a hat that cool and make it look good. You're definitely making it work :D
What a great hat! I think when you make something with so many pieces, they always look too small or too big. I'm glad to see it all worked out!
This hat is FAB!!!! I'm crocheting the same one at the moment and I hope my bear hat will look as good as yours :-)
