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. http://tinyurl.com/6gejwr I was thinking of making the hat purple and blue striped and putting the Oswald image in the center after running it through a knitting chart software that I found online. Any ideas or advice welcome! HELP!!!! lisa |

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? lisa |

The blue could match the Oswald color. lisa |

Any ideas or advice welcome! Lisa 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.

That sounds adorable! The only thing I'd be concerned about is that he
might change his mind before then? So make sure it can be removed in case that happens! Before I read your idea I was going to suggest finding a store-bought Oswald patch that you could sew on so that you hadn't invested too much in it should he change his mind but your idea sounds much cuter LauraJ "karlisa" wrote in message ...
