Tow Mater Hat

I had a request for a Mater hat right before Christmas. I have to say I am not a Cars fan as my children are a little older now. After investigating who this character is through several photos, costumes and toys online, this is what I came up with. I am sharing the pattern of the facial details with you since I have received so many requests, but the hat pattern I used is not mine. I use  Yarn and Musings' pattern for the body of most of my hats.  It's done in rounds and sometimes I change it for stripes, but for Mater you don't need to alter the pattern. Follow this link to the hat pattern.

For Mater's windshield:

make a single crochet foundation chain of  18. 

ch 3, dc in same stitch and across in each sc.

crochet 18 dc across for 4  rows. 

row 5:   ch 1, slip stitch  twice,  sc  twice,  hdc twice,   dc four times,  treble in one  stitch and fasten off.

For the eyeballs: 

using black,  5 sc in a magic ring,  changing to green in the last stitch. 

2 sc in each stitch,  fasten off and sew both eyeballs to the white windshield.

Mater's teeth: a single crochet foundation chain of three, extending 3 rows.   I do think he would look better with one tooth longer than the other. You can do this by making one tooth one row longer.  I hope to make another hat in the future and add headlights and a carb.
