I finished a little apple-y hat for the Bean, using Crystal Palace Mini Mochi striping sock yarn and a pattern I found here: http://happyasianwomenknitting.com/?p=235.

It’s definitely a newborn-sized hat (hopefully his noggin won’t be too huge to wear it when he’s born!). Since it only took a few hours to make, I’m thinking of whipping up a bigger one in a thicker yarn so he can continue to have his head encased in fruit-shaped hats further into his infancy. 😉

Lacking a baby doll to model the hat, I tried it on all of the cats. They were less thrilled about this than you’d think. Go figure!

I have plenty of yarn left in the skein, so I think I’ll try some matching booties next.
