My 2 year old son Noah reluctantly agreed to model two of my finished
hats. Each hat is made with two strands of worsted weight yarn dyed with
Koolaid, and I plan on sending them to Warm Woolies, which collects wool
hats for charity.

Hat #1 is dyed with lime Koolaid and Blueberry Blast (?) Koolaid:

This hat is dyed with Grape Koolaid and Black Cherry:

As soon as I try the "great experiment" with felting the 3rd hat, I'll
post back, and if it's successful, I'll post photos.

Great hats (did you get the pattern online somewhere?), which I'm sure
will be appreciated by those who receive them. Your little boy is
adorable! )

Thanks, Gemini! I'm pretty partial to that boy myself. :-) I knitted the
hats using the free pattern from the Warm Woolies website and just changed
it a bit by varying the needle size and brim style. I think I finally
settled on using size 11 circulars (US size) and casting on 5 less stitches
than the original pattern called for to make it smaller, like the
Cherry/Grape hat came out. It makes a smaller hat, but I like the overall
look. It'll probably just fit babies and young toddlers. I love how fast
these work up, too!
