Birthday Gift


This hat began as a white skein of yarn. It was given to my favorite neighbour for her 12th birthday - with the clause that we would dye the wool (with kool-aid) and I would knit it into a hat for her. The original colours she picked were pink, white and green; but then we decided to experiment and poured blue over the whole thing. It was great - some of the pinks turned purple, some of the green turned turquoise and the white turned blue. The pattern was a simple ribbed toque, but shortened becasue she didn't want it to touch her ears - a scull cap of sorts. And a needle felted flower as a finishing touch.
