This was my first attempt at a hat. I knit it out of wool for Garrett. I was pleased with the results. But, I was rather disappointed that it was too small for Garrett's head. :( It did fit Nolan; but, I am sure that by the time he grows into the jacket it matches, his head will have also grown. One consolation...with the mild winter we have had in Michigan this year, Garrett wouldn't have worn it much anyway, and I did prove to myself that I could make a hat. :)
