The story of a Hat

I'm trying to keep Leo supplied with cosy hats, a task that is a great pleasure. He needed one that could be fastened under his chin so that it would stay in place. He has a habit of pulling them off! I had fun going through patterns and chose one from my favourite hat book, Baby Beanies by Amanda Keeys. I made the size I thought would fit, but it turned out bigger than I had planned:


(I always like the look of the top of a knitted hat.)


I decided to make another one a little smaller:


But when we tried the small hat on Leo, it was too small!



The large one fit quite well.

We tied it under his chin and for a while...


...he actually forgot he was wearing it!


But eventually, he realized!


Hopefully, when he's out in the cold, our little Leo will keep
 his cosy-warm hat on his sweet little head.


Stay warm and well,

Judy Ann
