For Emma Grace's hat I used the leftover yarn from her backpack. I love this hurricane hat! I think it is going to look so cute on her little head! I made a few slight changes to compensate for the bulky yarn and changing of sizes. I cast on 60 stitches using a bulky yarn on size 8 needles and then followed the rest of the instructions. Many thanks to my niece who so willingly modeled for me! (A girl will do anything for a lollipop!)
For Joshua I chose this pattern from Through The Loops. Knit on double pointed needles from the crown down, it was quite different to knit. I love this pattern but I will admit that I'd rather knit a hat on a circular than dpn's. Many thanks to Emma Grace's baby doll for modeling this hat for me!

Gotta have someone make you some peanut soup!!!
Both hats are fabulous - you're really good at this! Not that I'm surprised, my talented friend.
So, how long does it take you to whip up one of those extraordinary hats?
Oh! Your hats make a perfect pair for your awesome mittens :o) Hmmm...Yeah, my question is like LibbyLibbyLibbyLibbyLibby... How long does it take for you to knit those?
