bought a butterick pattern, but of course I modified it. I use craft foam instead of batting for the visor and headpiece, and I make the head piece more narrow. Also didn't care for the way the instructions said to put it together. Anyway, it really is cute. My dog loves scarves and sweaters and jackets, but she doesn't seem too keen about the hat. We will work on it. Thank goodness for pattern sales - does anyone pay full price for a pattern?
