I am not a strong knitter. I can do what for lack of a better word we will call a "scarf", as long as it is all the one colour, and all the same kind of stitch. But I must have this Katamari Damacy Prince of All Cosmos Baby Hat. I do not have a baby, but I'm sure I can modify it. There's a pattern and more pictures over here.
During winter in Sydney I see loads of people wearing beanies, and have trouble deciding whether they're poor or just cold. One of the best ways to avoid looking like an impoverished criminal during winter without sacrificing some warmth for your noggin, is a lovely hand-knitted skull cap. The one pictured makes my knittin' fingers itch, and you can download the pattern at one of my favourite crafty blogs, brooklyntweed.
