Once, when I was riffling through my mother-in-law's knitting patterns, I came across the pattern for this little hat and fell in love with it immediately. It was too late to make it for my babies—who were no longer babies—but I knew that I had to make it. I brought it home and held onto it for a while, so that I could figure out who would be lucky enough, and just weird enough, to like this hat for their kid.
When I found out that my sister-in-law's brother and wife were expecting a baby, I knew that this hat would be perfect for their baby. So I broke out my giant bag of yarn, a hand-me-down from my mother-in-law, and found the right colours. I had so much yarn, in fact, that I decided to make a matching sweater. I took the basic pattern from another sweater and designed the colours and bobbles to match the hat. (Those little circles are actually bobbles that stick out like mini pompons.)
As with all other baby patterns, these two things knit up fast and easy. This was one of the more fun things to knit.
