It's so nice to be knitting again. It may only be a small baby hat but we have to start somewhere. And who doesn't love a cute project that can be completed in a night. To find a project I, of course, went to my Ravelry page and checked my queue and found the Kiddie Cadet pattern. I immediately bought it and went to Yuzawaya on the way home from work and purchased some yarn.
Here is the result:
I made a few changes to the decreases on the top of the hat so it fit Jake's head better so it doesn't actually sit flat like in the pattern photos but it fits J's head perfectly. It's definitely a keeper. I've nearly finished my second one to give to a girlfriend who is due in July. Hope she likes it.
We also added one of Darin's Heroin Skateboard pins

Oh and Jake is wearing one of my favourite purchases of late - a stylized freddie krueger tshirt. I am loving Japanese baby clothes!!
Cutest Freddy shirt EVER!
I love the hat too! I saw the photos of Jake pop up on Flickr this morning and had a little "awwwww, what a cutie!" moment.

That looks cool, the Freddy shirt is freakin hilarious. If I had a baby, I would put him or her in it in a heartbeat!
