A Hat for a Little Friend

 I made a hat for my little friend.  He put it right on.  He helped pick out the main color from my yarn basket, (he loves green,) and his mother and I discussed the color combination.  It is very much inspired by her Swedish, graphic, high-pastel color sense.  Her boys always look so colorful!  We added blue to the green the little one picked out, and when I saw his coat, I tossed in the aqua to make the coat and hat sing a song together.  This is one of my favorite color combinations!

I have been making lots of striped hats recently.  I love to knit hats, I love stripes, and I love to make presents.  I'm having a fun winter making sure all my friends and family have warm and cozy heads.

Stunning! I wish I could knit. Sort of. What I really want is for someone to knit on a regular basis for me. ;)
