My cousin A and his wife S are having a baby in August. As a result, I got the notion stuck in my head to knit them a baby blanket. I started several months ago (after a few false starts) and the blanket is really coming along now.
But then, the surprise baby shower was sprung on me - and that my cousins are having a girl! So during my weekend visit to London, I knit a baby bonnet - with D's help!
The beginnings of the bonnet:
And modeled on my lovely bunny (the closest thing I had to a baby since Hermes wouldn't sit still):
Finally, the side view. It's kinda elf-like, isn't it?
I may or may not put ears on it. I haven't decided yet. What do you think?

The hat is really really cute. What would the ears look like?
That hat is so seriously cute! Well done :)
I'm sure it's going to go over very well but not too well ;)
nice work lady! i need to whip up a bunch of bonnets just to have on hand.
Nice to see you on Blogger! I didn't realize you were actively blogging here until Dee threw you on our link list whilst I was away :)
The hat MUST have ears. All baby hats ought to. What yarn is that?
And you are totally on the blanket homestretch! Ever-decreasing rows are good for the soul. You will see.
