Even the littlest thugs need hats.

Oh, motherhood. You are so sneaky. You bring me this screaming me-me who wears me out physically and emotionally, but I can't bear to part with him because he's so damn cute. And then all of a sudden BAM, he is darling, adorable, and so very sweet. He's everything in the world that you didn't know you wanted by now you suddenly need - NEED. As in, I miss him when he's sleeping. As in, I could watch him watch me for hours. As in, kid, you are a heartbreaker.

Hat knit out of Berroco Vintage Chunky, my new favorite yarn. That is one tired little elf(As for the hat: cast on 64 on an appropriate needle, k2p2 until the cows come home, then decrease four times per row every other row until you have a nice little point. I tried to make a pom-pon, but that was a hot mess. The hat fit his very small 16" head, but will expand up to 18" or 19".)
