Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town,
Upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown,
Tapping at the window and crying through the lock,
Are all the children in their beds? It’s past eight o’clock!

I have knitted three of these hats now and I still think they are cute as a button. Or maybe it’s the little model that makes it cute? No matter, after seeing Greer modelling the orange version of this hat I decided to throw together one for her.

This pattern is called the Candy Cane Hat (Ravelry link here) and calls for red and white stripes but since I’m still working on my Craft Neutral year I decided to use the lovely green cotton I had to hand and I’m glad I did. Green isn’t usually a colour I’d think to put on the children but it really suits Greer. See?

And we had four comments at our swimming class this morning, all positive and expressing adoration for my lovely baby in her supercute hat. Let me tell you something, see us Mummys? We don’t ever hear enough praise for our gorgeous spawn so keep it coming!

What do you think?
