I’m just a little bit giddy over this hat. I may have squeed a bit after weaving in ends! The Dino Cap for Jellybean is done and ready for winter.
The spikes turned out a but fussy. I couldn’t get the look I wanted so I just said forget it and went with the pattern directions for construction. I just really wanted this to be finished.That being said I did detour from the pattern instructions when I went to attach them. I didn’t want a lot of bulk at back of the skull because Jellybean will have to wear this in the car seat. So I scrunched up my spikes on the forehead and left the back flat. I think it’s adorable and functional! And how warm does that double thick brim with ear flaps look?!
Pattern: Dino Cap by Kris Hansen
Size: 2 year old
Yarn: Caron Simply Soft in Green and Brown (I used roughly 180 yards between the two colors)
Needles: US 6s and US 7s
Mods: See above for spikes
My notes and project are raveled here for any additional details.
I hope you have a Happy Friday and Happy Knitting!!

That’s adorable! I wish my relatives/friends/acquaintances had more kids I could knit for, I don’t think I could pull off a Dino cap myself …
