I used red heart super saver solids in yellow, black, white, and blue. I used these because my son is 4, I needed something sturdy, that holds it's shape, and is washable.
I used size 7 circular needles to start, switched to size 7 DPN's once I started decreasing.
I used a size G crochet hook for the eyes.
I CO 70 st using blue
I knit about 10 rows in blue, switched to yellow & knit about 10 rows, switched to black & knit 5 rows, switched back to yellow. I just carried the yarn up through switching colors so I didn't have any knots.
I knit to desired length, basically I kept trying the hat on my son's massive dome (tee hee) until it just covered his noggin.
