Fish Hat for the Dodge boys

I found this adorable Fish Hat at Knitty.com via Allcrafts.net.

I used Lily Sugar 'n Cream cotton worsted weight yarn. The body is from a giant mixed ball that I don't know the name of and the accent colors are Hot Blue, White, and Mod Green.

I had a bit of trouble with the tail, so I'm not super thrilled with how it turned out. I read and reread the instructions, but I couldn't really suss out the where and how. I decided to just go ahead with it and mess with it when it was done. The end result? Well, it's done! :)

For some reason the kids didn't want to wear it as a hat or just pulled down over their faces.
They wanted to be completely consumed by the fish hat.

Even dads like fish hats. :)

Another Pixie Bonnet

This Pixie Bonnet pattern from Allcrafts.net has become one of my favorites to knit. It works up really quickly and the way the top comes to a peak is just adorable.

I made this one from a fuzzy, light blue remnant that has a thread of black in it. I'd say it is probably worsted weight. I also decided to add a little ball on a string.

Just adorable!
