Hats...

This hat turned out a lot cuter than I pictured in my mind!  I like how it curves in at the top perfectly and the sparkly, pink flower adds just the right amount of adorable to it. 

I have begun knitting hats just recently.  I know most people start out with knitting hats when learning to knit, but I jumped right in making stuffed animals!  I missed out on the rewarding feeling that knitting a hat brings.  I can usually complete one, start to finish within three evenings. This depends on how long it takes my husband to say something like,  "How many more rows until you can turn out the light!?".  He's not fond of my knitting-in-bed habit when it carries on after he's ready to sleep.  Before you feel too sorry for him, know that he has his own set of annoying habits. ;)

Now that the aqua-colored hat is finished, I'm ready to start a new one!  I haven't yet decided what the next one will be, but I am sure it will be just as exciting to finish.

An Owl Hat

The idea for this cute owl hat designed itself in my head at 4:23am one morning!  I've seen similar owl hats and wanted mine to be simple and adorable at the same time.  The hat is knitted in stockinette stitch with a ribbed bottom edge.  The eyes are knitted as well, with a button "pupil" and the beak is a triangle knitted in garter stitch.  

This little hat was such fun to make!  It will fit a toddler-sized head or a small child.  It's also machine washable and dries quickly (a great thing after a day of playing in the snow!).   You can find it in my Etsy shop at: http://www.etsy.com/listing/86839322/toddler-owl-hat or contact me to special order one in sizes infant through adult.
