I finished the double pink snowflake hat last week! Wee tried it on while she was playing wii with her brothers and liked it so much she just kept it on. I hadn't even put a pompom on it yet, but before I knew it the hat was tossed in the hats bin by the door and was in regular use. I wanted to snap some more pics for the blog this weekend but now I can't find the darn thing. Ten to one we lost it in the school and it'll be sitting in the school lost and found all this week while the kids have February vacation.

So, as you can see, I stuck with the white snowflakes and the light pink. I liked it (I like pink stuff) and just kept telling myself that the white would stand out more when the entire snowflake was complete. And it does. Obviously we all really liked the hat since wee wore it enough already to lose it! I really do want to try doing the hat one more time though (and I may have to if I don't find it at the school). I loved the suggestion many of you made of leaving out the white entirely and doing the snowflakes in the opposite pink color, ie, light pink snowflake on the dark pink background and dark pink snowflake on the light pink background. The snowflake hat pattern is fun to do, so I'm happy to make another. And for wee and her 4T sized head, I didn't really make any changes to the pattern besides leaving out about half of the plain knit rounds called for between the decrease rounds. (Pssst.... if you want to make this hat and are having trouble getting the chart to print, you can take a screen shot of the pattern page or grab the jpg from me here.)

In the meantime, while the pink snowflake hat is off on school vacation, I guess I'll just have to make wee another hat.

Tune in later this week to see this one all done!
