Creative crochet (again)

I've tweaked a bootie pattern so it matches this gorgeous Minnie Mouse inspired hat, and my modifications worked!



They're going to my cousin in law's little girl, who arrived last week but just a bit earlier than expected.


For the hat I made the bow smaller
Row 1:ch5,
Row 2: 3tr (in2nd from turn), sl St, 3tr, sl st
Row 3(actually *under* row 1): dc in each, all the way round to edge whole piece)

And left the button eyes off

For the booties I:
1) continued the sole color for an extra row (ie change colour for row5, but don't finish off first colour, keep it attached to weave in and then use for the strap)
2) added an extra row of dc all the way round after row5
3) finished off colour 2 (black) instead of using it for the strap
4) wove sole color along the side, secured it with 3sl st in same St, then ch14to make strap
5) attach strap to opposite side with 3sl st, then turn and dc in each st back to original side and finish off
6) left the buttons off-i like how the wider strap looks without them.
