My friend recently informed me that she's having a baby boy so I immediately went to work on baby shower gifts.  Here is my first completed project for her and her baby boy.





I had fun making it, not completely satisfied with it, but I think it came out ok.

Fantastic!  I have someone who would love this hat whose birthday is next month!  I'm going to have to make this for him!  I hope you don't mind if I copy yours.

wow!  Your sackboy looks great!  You went into great detail and he looks fabulous...  I am inspired to make my own!  I know my fiance would love one of these as he's addicted to the game (as am I)... Thanks for posting your beautiful project and inspiring me to make my own.  Great idea using the CD for the mouth!

it looks pretty good even when it's not felted, but when it's felted... it looks amazing!  That's my opinion anyway.  Post pictures when you're done!  I'd love to see it!

I have a friend who is addicted to the Final Fantasy Series.  She has played every single game for hours upon hours as well as the Kingdom Hearts games.  I learned how to crochet and wanted to make a moogle for her.  I have not played any of the games, so I found pictures on the internet and this is what I came up with:

The bag is removable.

I'm going to give it to her tonight, I am so excited!  I hope that she like it and can recognize what it's supposed to be.

Wow!  Those are all great, and if I may say so... you have great taste in games!

OK, my attempt at answering your questions... some I cannot answer as I do not have enough experience crocheting or felting.

MissFlynn:
I used Lion Wool (100% Wool yarn) - http://www.lionbrand.com/yarns/lionWool.html
As for the felting of the entire hat... I don't know because this is my first felting project, hopefully someone else can answer your question.  If you want to make it warmer, you could use fleece to line the hat and attach it with a blanket stitch.  That is what I was thinking about doing for a different hat, for someone who lives in Colorado.  The kid that's receiving this one lives in Cali, so he doesn't need a really warm hat.

TwistedTruth:
I attached the felting yarn in 4 horizontal, 5 vertical per row of stitches.

that looks just like domo kun!  It turned out awesome!

OMG that is a fantastic looking hat!  I love the colors, they go together so well! 

That's a great beanie!  I know someone who will love it!  I am  totally going to try to make one!
