Benny the Bull Hat - Free Crochet Pattern
Benny the Bull Hat - Free Crochet Pattern
Take on Chicago winters with Benny the Bull.
This hat was inspired by the Chicago Bulls mascot, Benny the Bull. Who is by far the greatest mascot ever seen.
Let’s just face it, Benny the Bull steals the show. He is funny, he can dance and he can dunk.
Living in the Chicago area, during the time of Michael Jordan’s reign, has made the Chicago Bulls a staple in my family. My brother wanted to be like Mike, and my sister wanted to be Benny the Bull.
The memories of that time and my family’s love of the Chicago Bulls is what made me want to make this hat.
