Green Hat for Little Ears

 My nephew's wife is expecting their first baby in December.  I know that my Mum has made them a quilt so I thought I would knit a jacket and hat.  

I found a pattern on a ball of yarn for a hoodie which looked really cute.  The yarn was a pretty variegated one with some green in it. so I bought it.

 My mother mentioned that they were going to have a green nursery and then I remembered that I had this green left over from another project (baby hoodie) and thought it would make a nice border to the jacket. Then I thought I would make a solid colour hat.  

To be sure that I had enough for the hat I knit the hat first.  I needn't have worried there is still plenty of yarn.  I may even make the sleeves a solid colour  We'll see how that goes

The colour in the photo is very washed out.  The hat itself was easy enough to knit.  Not sure that the ear-flaps are clearly defined or even worth the trouble.  It is rather large.  I think it will wind up as a toddler hat!
