Another hat for Dylan

This is my second time making this hat, I love the pattern, but found the ear flaps weren't spaced far enough apart, so I added 7 sts to the front, between the ear flaps, then decreased 7 sts evenly on the 25th row of stocking stitch, and I believe it worked.

Beret

Lately I've been complaining to anyone who would listen, that I have no time to knit. Well... I guess if I want to knit bad enough, I can find the time, here is the proof... I finished this beret a lot sooner than I thought.

look...I'm knitting!

About 6 months ago I received a request from my sisters granddaughter,she fell in love with the Beret that I had knitted last year, I told her I'd knit her one up if she'd like, she picked light grey, and I just happened to have a ball left over from the sweater I had made for Dylan.

This pattern is my favourite hat patterns of all time. It's a quick easy pattern, but has taken me a long time to make, because I only get a knit on it during Dylan's short little naps. I hope to have it completed for her by her Birthday on the 25th.
