I have always been a huge Muppet fan. I grew up watching Muppet movies and I just recently saw the newest one - I loved it! So when I heard about the movie release, I felt compelled to make some Muppet hats. I planned on making a couple of them, but I just couldn't stop - I ended up making 10. Here they are!
 |
| Kermit - I actually made this one a few years ago, so he's not really up to par with most of them, but you get the idea |
 |
| Miss Piggy - I used a wig I already owned and just made two little slits for the ears so the wig is removable. I wish I had enough room to add a nose so it would be a little more recognizable. Maybe I'll try again one day... |
 |
| Fozzie Bear - I used a different stitch for the body of the hat to look like his fur. His hat is basically just a mini knit hat that I crocheted to the top. |
 |
| Dr. Bunsen Honeydew - This one was really easy because I just had to crochet some ears and a nose onto a normal hat. I used old 3D movie glasses without lenses for the glasses. |
 |
| Beaker - He's one of my favorites! He just has basic felt features and a pompom for the hair. |
 |
| Statler - The nose was a little difficult, but I eventually got it. I used felt for the rest of the features, with a little bit of cotton stuffing underneath the eyebrows and hair so it sticks out a little more. |
 |
| Waldorf - This one miiiight be my very favorite. I used cotton batting for the hair and mustache, felt for the eyes, and then knit the eyelids, nose, and ears. |
 |
| Rowlf - This is one of my favorite Muppets - and the hat was really simple. Just felt features, and then a textured stitch for the ears. |
 |
| Gonzo - My other favorite Muppet! Felt facial features, a knit nose, and a few extra strands of yarn at the top. |
 |
| Animal - This is probably the most recognizable one and took the most hand-stitching, but all it took was a normal red hat and a bunch of felt features. |
I'm really happy with how most of them turned out! I think I'm going to do some more "series" of hats like this. What do you think? Any suggestions?
**Update: since I am not selling these hats, please feel free to try making them yourselves. However, I cannot share patterns with you as I did not use any, and frankly I don't even know how to read them or write my own. Thanks for all the kind words about these!

Awesome. Ought to complete the set with Mahna Mahna and at least one Snowth.

Fantastic series of hats!! It's hard to choose a favorite, but I particularly liked Animal. My son would love it, as he dressed up as Animal a few years ago for Halloween. Good luck with future hats!

Oh my goodness, these are amazing!
Absolutely GENIUS!!! I love, love, love them!
As all the other posts have mentioned: These are spectabulous!!! I think my fav are the Statler/Waldorf hats...(although they aren't necessarily my favorite muppets). You have a great talent. Keep sharing!
These are incredible, but the lack of a Rizzo the rat hat disappoints me lol. Seriously, these are very creative.
You are so gifted, this are very good!! They really do resemble the muppets
