I made this hat for my favorite little monkey, to keep his head warm this winter:
The pattern was the Sock Monkey Earflap hat from Trappings and Trinkets.
The brown and cream yarn was Cascade 220 Superwash; the red is Minnow Merino Superwash.
The only modification I made was to crochet round eyes and sew them on instead of using buttons.
This was a fun and fast knit and I may just have to make another one in my size!

Summer is for Ice Cream
August 25, 2010I was browsing Ravelry for baby hat patterns and when I came across “Soft Serve” (Ravelry link) I knew I had to make it:
Our former next-door neighbors will be parents in October so I hope their baby likes this whimsical hat!
It is knit from fingering weight acrylic (from my stash) on US 3’s. I had to modify the pattern because the 0-3 month size came out to be 10 inches – way too small. So I picked up stitches along the cast-on edge, increased 12 stitches evenly spaced, and did another band of stockinette and another band of seed stitch. Now it will easily fit a 12-14+ inch head. I also changed the “swirl” on the top to make it more ice-creamy.
