To a knitter, the term "frogging" usually accompanies gnashing of teeth and hair pulling. ("Frogging" means pulling out hours of work and having to re-do it). However, this kind of frogging I can handle.I can handle the frogs.
*Sigh* What is it about that Jack Nicholson quote that is so addicting? I blame it all on Pioneer Woman.Anyway, onward.
Here in the Frigid North, head-wear is a necessity for one's health and to maintain the proper level of brain function. Is that sentence grammatically correct? Hmmm, perhaps it's because I don't wear hats when I go out.Brain function, I've been told, is important.
That's why I knitted this hat for Baby Gabe; because I want him to have lots of brain function. I wasn't at all tempted to knit this simply because I think it's cute and it makes me smile every time I see it.
Nope. Here at Yarn Over, we are all about selflessness and sacrifice.That's why when my son Gabe is 16, he's going to be so glad that I stuffed him into this hat and took pictures.

The hat is so gorgeous. Wish I had your skill, maybe just a little patience thrown in. My daughter and I were just talking today about how hard it was to find a hat for her 5 month old when all we have is Walmart and Dollar General. You can't order anything and be sure that is will fit.
rachel that has is so cute. You should sell those on your website too!
Such a cute hat! Love it!
