Winter Hats

It is that time of year again. It is getting cold. It is only the middle of November and we have already had a bit of snow. Anyway, I have been making the kids' hats every year. This year I let the boys pick their own colors (sort of). Hugh's new winter coat is dark gray with a red fleece interior and Hugh's favorite color at the moment is "golden". So we added the gold/yellow. It looks a bit like a Gryffindor hat to me and Hugh is just thrilled with it.

 Side view. Hugh HAD to have the ear flaps. He was not interested in a hat unless it had them.

Now, for Owen's hat. His only request was that it matched his blue puffy coat. Said coat is a medium blue with a dark blue fleece lining and a green zipper. So, the hat is just like Hugh's hat, only in the two tone blue and lime green.

He got ear flaps just like Hugh.

 

Here they are!
