Baby Animal 'Froggy' Hat Reviewed by Pauline Wells on 2009-05-14
I made this for my 2 year old grandson. He loved it and wouldn't take it off. My 5 year old grandson got hold of it and wore it until the 2 year old spied it. Now I have to make another one for the older grandchild. Thanks for such a cute design.
