The Hat Stayed On Today
Last December I made my grandson a Turn A Square hat but every time it was placed on his head, he would rip it right off. A few days ago, for some unknown reason, he decided that it is now OK to wear a hat.
Here he is at the zoo with his hat to keep his sweet head warm!
Looking a black alligator (or is it crocodile?)
Looking for the next exhibit
Something to keep in mind: Knitting hats for a toddler can be a risky proposition. They may or may not ever be worn. But if they ever do wear them, it makes it all worthwhile! Sigh…
Pattern: Turn A Square by Jared Flood
Size: scaled down to toddler size – 15 inches in diameter and 7 inches tall.
Yarn: I didn’t have any worsted self striping yarn so I used three different colors of Knitpicks Swish Worsted – black, gray, and squirrel
Needles: US size 6 circular.
