Kid in hat

She's finally big enough to wear the hat:


I'll post the latest Icarus photo later: only one chart left!

FO: Bunny Hat

I knit the bunny hat for the SO's brand new niece (as requested by her Mom). This was knit in the larger size using Rowan Wool Cotton with embroidery done in Lion Brand MicroSpun.

It was an easy project and I'd probably make it again, except that I hate, hate! embroidery. It's over now.

Pattern mods: There's a small mistake in the instructions for the larger size. Also, I knit the ears in the round using half-assed two-colour stranding to keep the brown yarn in play while knitting the pink section. I like the way the ears turned out; they're stiffer than in the original pattern, which looked like crap when sewn together.
