Pokeball Beanie with Bill Free Crochet Pattern

Pokeball Beanie with Bill - Free Crochet Pattern

Well, we can blame this hat on my son’s best friend.

One day after school my son gets in the car talking 100 mph. From what I can gather, his best friend has given him some of his duplicate Pokemon cards so they can play together. So it starts…

Next thing I know, we can’t leave a store without looking at the trading card section. My son is now blowing his entire allowance on Pokemon cards, binders and card holders. I fear it’s becoming an obsession. Then the worst possible scenario….

Pokemon Go is released!

I feared this game would only escalate my sons new obsession with all things Pokemon, but something else happened.

Suddenly my son was outside walking like crazy. Asking to go to parks and if we could go on walks as a family. Next thing I know, my entire family has the game and we’re walking around town, capturing Pokemon. Now I’m obsessed.

It doesn’t take too long before I start to think that these little Pokemon would make cute hats. So the first of my Pokemon collection is the Pokeball Hat.

Did you play Pokemon Go? Did your kids? What did you think of it? Let me know in the comments?
