Red and white top hat

This hat was my 4 year old son's idea. Carl picked out the yarn and told me what he wanted made from it. Dare I say that it is inspired by a certain cat? Or will I get in trouble with the Mouse and his lawyers?

The yarn is Nature Spun worsted wool. The pattern only exists in my head but I have been writing things down as I go. I can already see things that I would like to change but I am too lazy to frog and start this one over. Besides, Carl won't care. He loves it already!

Carl, Great job picking out the colors and asking your Mom to make this.

I love the baby set as well. I've been thumbing through my books and One Skein Wonder holds several patterns I look forward to making. Including this baby set. So darn cute!; 8:14 PM
