Cat hat

I'm still working through all the yarn that my mother-in-law and mom have handed down to me. Some of it is just little bits, which are perfect for smaller projects such as hats. I was going through Sandie's (mom-in-law) patterns and came across this great pattern from the 70's: it's a winter hat that pulls over the head and protects the neck... and it has cat ears! I knew this would be perfect for Solanne.

I scrounged through my collection of yarn and found the perfect stuff: a blue yarn (which will match with her mitts) with a red thread going throughout (that will match with her red snowsuit). She loved it right away... and so did Maïa. In fact, Maïa wore it for an entire day (with Sol's permission), until I noticed she was stretching out the face opening. I have promised her I will knit one for her, too. As soon as I finish her sweater...

This project knitted up quite easily within two days.
