Scarlett's Hat (project number 6)

Yesterday I decided to take a break from my other projects to do something special for my Scarlett. While we were at the store picking out yarns she told me she wanted me to make her a hat. I asked her to pick out a color, and tried to steer her towards the light greens that would match her coat. She of course, wanting to be her own person although shes still only two, picked out a beautiful orange. The color is the same color of a beret that my grandma has and so I decided I would make a beret for Scarlett :)
   After what seemed like hours looking for a childs beret pattern I decided I would just use an adult pattern but do my best to scale it down. I decided upon the pattern offered by the wonderful blog, Creativeyarn. I had to restart it twice and unravel it once but I eventually produced a beautiful little beret for Scarlett. I plopped it on her head and showed her herself in the mirror and she smiled really big at me and said,"I kind of like it a little bit." So after an entire day of hard work, she kind of likes it. I'll settle for that if i can get her to wear it. :)
