I might make a 2-color ribbed band on the bottom and the rest of the
hat purple, and then duplicate st the octopus on plus maybe something
else from the show, perhaps just "Oswald" on the other side of the hat
in duplicate st block letters. �

Or, if I wanted to be really different, I might be tempted to do a
2-color rib and then instead of a pompom put the octopus body at the
very top of the hat and make I-cord legs and randomly sew them down or
leave them to dangle like tassels. �

Leah

Yes, I was thinking of knitting the octopus body as a ball and then
lightly stuffing it, embroidering the face and sewing it tot he top of
the hat with I-cord legs! �I think that would be very cute.

I'm actually getting a little excited about knitting this for
him. �:-)

that would be so way cool and adorable!

Lisa,
If it helps- I just bought a chunky yarn with the color named "Blueberry".
Here is a link:

There are also purples on the same page.

I was talking to my 3 1/2 year old son tonight while he ate dinner,
and the following conversation took place:

Me: Noah, do you want a new hat this year?

Noah: Yes, mommy. Where is it?

Me: I have to knit it first. What color hat do you want? Red?
Orange? Blue...?

Noah: (thinks a minute) I want a purple hat, Mommy!

Me: Okay, I love purple! What else do you want on it? Do you want
stripes?

Noah, yeah, I want Blueberry stripes!

Me: oooooh...kay. Blueberry stripes sound great! A purple hat with
blueberry stripes?

Noah: yah, and Go Diego! on it

Me: (thinking to myself--holy crap, how am I going to knit that???)
Okay, a purple hat with blueberry stripes and a Go Diego! on it???
That sounds great, Noah!

Noah: No, mommy, not Go Diego! I want Oswald. (his favoriite
children's character)

Me: Okay. You want a purple hat with blueberry stripes and a picture
of Oswald on it?

Noah: yah!! that's what I want.


Now I ask you all for some adivice. Any ideas on what shade of purple
would go with "blueberrry" stripes? Here's a link to Oswald (an
octopus) so you can see what he looks like. He's blue, too.

Karlis,

I found this,

http://www.createforless.com/Coats+_...&zmap=29096308

It might cover two of your colors, it is cheap and will last much dirt
and many washes. You can also purchase it in the larger super saver size.

Hugs & God bless,
Dennis & Gail

Dennis,
This looks much more "kid friendly" than the yarn I suggested.

Sounds wonderful, but I would put Oscar on the top on the hat, with
his tentacles running down the sides. And, unless your son wants the
stripes on the whole hat, I would just put them in the turned-up rib
section. I always put a turned-up rib section on toques.

Good luck!

Now that i looked at the image you sent YES by all means embroider it
over the hat ,,
how do you plan to knit the hat , are the stripes going in the
vertical or down wards ,? mirjam

I think I'll do horizontal stripes. *I had considered knitting him the
hat a basic style hat of purple and blue (blueberry) stripes and then
knitting a separate 3-D Oswald and sewing that on top instead of a pom-
pom *I could knit the octopus as a ball, embroider the face and stuff
it and then make I-cord legs to sew on to the body. *Would that work?
\
I think so.

I have been waiting for about 5 days now but the shipping times are 10-19 days. As soon as I get them I will let you know. I have not seen you on that forum for a long time now and I was wondering where you are? How did it go with the collection that you got? Here is the link to the beads again http://www.liangdianup.com/beadscrafts_1.htm and here is the link to the Swarovski beads http://www.liangdianup.com/inventory/900020.htm if those links don't work then you can goto www.lducompany.com and click on the beads picture, that should take you right there. I hope you see this message and get back to me cause I miss talking to you
