That is a really cute hat!

Thank you! I wish I could wear something like it, but it would look too silly I think. Babies are so lucky, they can look as silly as anything and people just smile at them!

{bursts into happy giggles} That's wonderful! Do you remember anything about how you made it? A friend of mine may be expecting twins and I need a mate for a silly baby hat I've already made, something like that would be so perfect...

Well, I have no idea how many sts I cast on, but it's plain stockinette (the roll brim makes it size-flexible!), and then when it comes to the crown decreases, I'm pretty sure I just did *k8, k2tog* repeatedly, forgetting about a round marker, until I came to 8 sts, then I think it was just k2tog until I had 1 left, then I pulled the yarn into the point and secured it. This is turning out pretty popular, and I still have the yarn... I may just have to re-knit it and actually write the pattern this time.

I have to leave for work now, but I'll think about it some more.

Thanks for the compliment!

hee! so cute! Did the yarn color just like that? Neat!

Thanks! Actually, it is made with 2 strands held together, and I just alternated which two colors and kind of "blended" down the spectrum.

Aww, that's absolutely precious.

Thanks! I'm still waiting for the mommy to get my a pic of the hat in use!
