Second beehive hat

Pattern link on Ravelry

 

When the other hat turned out to fit Seth, while they were visiting, I asked Zoe and T.J. what color hat they would each like.  T.J. said purple, and knowing that his daddy would not like for T.J. to wear a really PURPLE hat, I decided to make the main portion of T.J.'s hat black, with purple showing in the 'grooves'.  I finished it today......it's been a good carry-along to doctor's visits.

Like I said, the other one was given to Seth, so I no longer need to hide it in the Christmas section !

Zoe asked for pink and red, but I couldn't find two of the same weight that looked good together, so I've purchased hot pink yarn with a bit of glimmer, and black, to make hers.  I'll reverse the color placement on hers, and have pink for the ridges and black for the grooves, LORD willing.

  I started it tonight.  The yarn is a lighter weight, sport, so I've cast on an extra 10 stitches (95) and I went down 2 sizes on my needle, to a size 5.

 T.J.'s was 10 stitches bigger (85) than Seth's (75), but done in the same weight of yarn, worsted, and the same needle, a size 7.  I hope none of these hats come out too big.  I can't just say that Kelley (their mama, my daughter) will wear them if they do, because her head is so tiny that she's able to wear a ball cap that is adjusted for SETH !
