Planets/Solar System Children Crochet Hat FREE PATTERN

This hat fits a childrens size 2 to 5 years old...my glam~son is 4...
         YARN SALE!!!          WOOO HOOOO!!!
 I used wooden buttons from Walmart for the planets. I  sanded them , painted with acrylic paint, then sealed them with an auto clear sealer for durability.

 Saturn's ring is made from Baked Sculpey clay, then glued on with 2 part clear epoxy.

 The star buttons also came from Walmart. I painted the dark blue ones a lighter blue so they would show up against the blue yarn...
 The pom pom...(SUN) was made from yellow and orange yarn...
