the blue blog archives: the snowman cometh

One snowman hat and, get this, my twelfth Itty-Bitty Hats hat overall! I can't believe I've made so many of these and there are still more I want to try from the book.

This one was lots of fun. I was amazed at what a difference it made to add the scarf and the black brim of the snowman's hat. It really transformed a cute vaguely penguin-y looking hat into a fabulous snowman-in-a-hat hat. Just to drive the idea home though, I added a little coal mouth. No mistaking that for a penguin!

I think I'll try a Stripey Stocking Cap next! Now to raid the stash for a couple of fun yarns....

You are such a beautiful knitter that I always go back to the books and check out what I have missed!

Thanks, Susan. It's all you though! I just followed what you wrote!

Naia, it is a cute hat on, but, unfortunately, it was too small for my daughter to model it for a photo. The hat has already been gifted away so no pics of this one. The book photo is cute as are some of the photos you can find on ravelry.com.
