I was commissioned to make these for my little nephews. My sister found the idea as a crochet pattern. I think they turned out pretty cute! Although we’re worried that the toddler size hat is TOO big but we shall see. I’m a little bummed that they aren’t’ really from me;)!

The project I asked you to guess about whas 1/2 of this. Isn’t it cute? If I make these to give away I have to figure out a better way to sew the fabric lining onto the knit pieces. It’s not quite right. The yarn is from a sweater I bought at the thrift store [...]
