I just love this time of year, and I love all the kitchy gear that goes along with the season. One of the best things about having a small child is dressing them in fun, yet festive hats. Here are two that I've created.
Knit in the round, these little hats are so simple to make, that even the novice knitter can whip one up in one or two evenings. The pattern is available free of charge, and can be downloaded here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/74228275
If you'd like me to make one of these beauties for you, they're available in my Etsy Shop. If you want to make one yourself, but don't want to invest in three balls of yarn, I'll set up a kit for $15.00 which will include all the yarn and felt you need (heck, I'll even send you precut felt circles).
Enjoy the season.
