Pirate Frenzy

My life seems to be filled with pirates.

H's birthday is next week and he wants a pirate themed birthday.

Last winter I knit Troy the We Call Them Pirates hat and imediately wanted one for myself. I decided to make it for fair this year out of homespun. As soon as it got spun up and dyed, I had to start knitting. It went really fast and I was able to finish it up last friday at a local steel drum concert at the park. My loverly pal Ali took photos since I couldn't be bothered.

I had the two boys try it on since they are a good judge of softness and look entirely too cute in hats. The first photo is H and the second is Ali's boy N. Click on the photos for a larger size.

These photos are of the hat pre-blocked so it's kinda lumpy looking.

Very cute (kids and hat). You can tell you live in a moderate climate, though. Knitting wool outdoors in the summer and then trying it on....

I love that hat! One of these days I'll be a good enough (or patient enough) knitter to be able to handle reading a chart... Someday.

LOOOOOVE IT! Looks so cute on those two! So, did you modify the pattern or is the yarn a finer gauge to get it to fit them?
