I came across this hat, all i can say is - I LOVE IT!! Thanks for posting it! I can't get on with dpns, so i tried it on straight needles and it worked out ok.
I knit for a charity called Bonnie Babies - www.bonniebabies.co.uk - so will be knitting more for them.

Thanks for the cute pattern - I was looking for a fun, simple hat for babies to send to my cousin serving in Afghanistan. He's a medic, so I think he'll find lots of little ones to share them with.

Thanks for the pattern, loved the decrease. Made this hat for the hospital nursery where I work. Loved how it turned out, plan to make many more for them.
