Are You Ready For Some Football?!?

Fall is rapidly approaching and I am starting to get busy with orders for hats, scarves and mittens!  I had a special request from a family member of mine who is a big Steelers fan (as so am I), that wanted me to crochet a beanie with visor cap for her Godson in the Steeler team colors with a football applique attached to the side of cap.  I had never worked up an applique before, although I have seen a great deal of these embellishments on hats, blankets, etc.  I finally got a chance to give it a try!  The football applique pattern I used came from Creativeladys Crochet Blog.  Here is the finished product!
