Australian Wallaby crochet preschool beanie in green and gold (etsykids)

Description

This is a wallaby beanie in the Aussie sports colour of Green and Gold. I did this one in honour of the Australian Wallaby Rugby Team who are playing in the World Cup.

This special beanie will fit a little kid with a cold head, approximate age toddler to preschool, maybe longer as it has quite a bit of stretch.

Hat measures 18in/46cm circumference, and a height of 7 in/ 18cm.

This little number is designed by me and crocheted by me in my smoke free home amongst the gum trees. The Wallaby is light brown with a green and gold background, and I have included a touch of lime green to spruce it up. The colours are gender neutral, but might have particular appeal to a little bloke who wants to be a wallaby when he grows up. The beanie has one cute face on the front, and 3 granny type squares around the side and back. The ears and nose provide texture.

The yarn is an Australian made washable worsted weight acrylic. Although the yarn is machine washable, I would suggest washing by hand.

So what is the difference between a kangaroo and a wallaby? Both belong to the macropod familiy of marsupials which includes kangaroos, tree kangaroos, pottaroos and wallabies. Wallabies are very similar to a kangaroo but generally have a much smaller build. They often have finer features and thinner tails. The pretty face wallaby is a real cutie. So wallabies and kangaroos are like a mouse and a rat and they are often mistaken for each other.

Your beanie will be delivered to you by mail. As this comes from Australia this may take a week or two to reach you overseas. Buy several items and I will minimise postage costs. I lovingly pack all my work to keep it safe for the journey and have mastered the art of flat packing items so as to reduce your postage costs. Everything I make is one off and special.
