I’m not back properly.
But I had to show off Son #3’s hat, now finished.
It’s all his own work except for the casting on, the final half dozen rows which had to be done on dpns, and the casting off. It is vaguely tulip shaped, due to the fact that when a seven year old knits, he tends to add a stitch here and there for added visual interest. I did teach him how to decrease though, to try and counter balance the widening effect.
He is oh so proud. He wears the hat all day long and at night too. Yes, even in bed.
Here’s the back, taken as he eyes off the coffee and hazelnut cake on the kitchen bench.

I am so excited you're back! That sure is a hat to be proud of! Just precious, that Son of yours.
Your boys' future girlfriends will LOVE that they can knit. I love it too. What a great job he did :)
Such a cute hat. Maybe he can knit me one.
It's like a Dr.Seuss hat.
Absolutely beautiful.
Ok, now I need to know how you taught your boys to knit. Because the Pea Princess and I? We're all about the good intentions and *wanting* to be together and sharing and stuff, but the reality is frustration(her, impatience(me),and storming off (a bit of both)
I love it!
My 5-yr old and I were talking the other night, and she was telling me how sometimes she remembers this one time when she felt very sad, and what she was wearing, and where she was sitting, and what she was looking at. I asked her if she also remembered happy moments, and she said, yes, I think about knitting.
p.s. I check here every day, but no pressure, I know you need your break. Just want you to know you're missed.
What a darling!
And, you know, the hat, too....
:)
It is the most beautiful wonderful hat in the world.
What a perfectly wonderful delightful hat! It's a Quirky Knit! I truly thought you had knitted it. Never dreamed a child could make such a great cap.
Please tell him "WELL DONE!" for me. I can only knit long rectangles.
Fabulous hat! Great colors. Well done, and what a gorgeous boy.
How clever to knit a hat which matches the cake shape & lines at his age! Hope you are having a productive time.
Perfection! My #2 wants to learn to knit. I'm not sure I have the patience for it!
He did an amazing job!
it's amazing and I love it.
your son is ADORABLE.
I think it looks rather swish! Hope your break is going well.
clever clever boy!! a really good reason to sneak back to show us all - I have a seven year old friend who wants me to teach her to knit - maybe now it the time? good luck with your work
That's such a cool hat!
D'you think he'll write the pattern out for us? ;)
Clever, clever boy! He could have his own market stall!
great hat! love the colours. and thanks for sneaking back - make sure you do it often - it gets forlorn coming back to au revoir in the faint hope that you've returned :)
Well, even if you're not back, this a pretty good way for you to be away.
Stylin' lid!
