Sun hats

After Lotus got a sunburned cheek at the beach, I knit up a cotton sun hat.

Jason had to swoop in a whip out a ridiculously adorable sun hat on the sewing machine in about a quarter of my knitting time.

So now we have two hats!

Brim can flip up or hang down for more shade.

She is good at yanking both hats off....

Jason's creation: full of color and feminine flair and lined with one of his old t-shirts for a soft texture against her head....

Kirsten:

Very cute! It's always nice to have two. And cute little starfish, too!

Mom Z:

Wow! Both hats are sweet. Jason's hat does have special flair; did you do this freehand/ no pattern? Did you whip it up when you took a break from excavating your walkway ? You could both sell these hats at Saturday market!

Jason:

Yes, technically there was a pattern, but it consisted of a shape for the wedges which I cut out of the fabric and then just written directions.

I took a break from the backyard work all day yesterday...
