I decided to create a hat for my friends baby, to match the striped sweater I am currently knitting. And what is better than skulls...Really? The pattern will be available here  soon, and also from the my patterns section on my sidebar. The hat was knit with Rowan Cotton Glace, and I don't think I will try "fair isle" in cotton yarn anytime soon. My stitches are uneven because I was finding it hard to keep an even tension while knitting. I think that this hat is just the first draft and I will probably knit another, with more even tension before the baby is born. But I am very happy with the pattern and proud that I managed to figure it out. This size should fit a one year old. And I imagine you could make the hat larger or smaller but changing the yarn thickness. I will be in the process of typing out the pattern today, so it should be available tonight along with the excel spreadsheet of the chart.

I hope that my friend like the hat and that I get the sweater done before the baby is born. I have until the end of June, so I might just make it. But just incase I did decide to make the 12 month size instead of a newborn.

I am feeling much better today, I think I might have warded of the sickness for a little bit anyway.
