PANDA HAT -- JOSE WANG

PANDA HAT WITH SOMBRERO



JOSE WANG THE PANDA



My daughter asked me to make her a panda hat, she said that the panda represents all races being black and white and from China and so to make him even more multicultural she decided he should have a sombrero hat; she feels very strongly that all racism must be eradicated and that is what this hat represents to her...unity across the races. 

I found this great panda hat pattern here:

This talented designer has links to many of her own patterns and to other designers free patterns so it's well worth checking out.

The sombrero was improvised but loosly based on a pattern found here:

This designer also has many cute patterns.
