Posh Pooch Designs : The Jovie Slouchy Hat Crochet Pattern

The Jovie Slouchy Hat Crochet Pattern

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I had so much fun Designing this Slouchy hat.

I was inspired by the hat that Jovie wore in the movie Elf.

She wore a similar hat when she was singing to bring

Christmas cheer so Santa Could Fly his sleigh.

Jovie is short for Jovial which means cheerful and Friendly.

I Hope the Jovie Slouchy Hat brings everyone some

Christmas Cheer!

The Hat seems a little Complicated,

but it is really quite easy, and fun.

I Hope it Brings you Christmas Cheer to make

and to wear.
