<\/p>\nMy youngest son, Nathaniel, is particularly enamored of the Fox song. You know, \u00a0“What did the fox say?” \u00a0So when I found a crochet pattern for a fox hat, and I already had the perfect colors of yarn with no real plans to use them, I — obviously — had to make him a hat. He LOVES it. It’s really cute.<\/p>\n
I was experimenting with the orange yarn, trying out new stitches, thinking I might end up with a scarf for myself. When I was getting low on yarn, though, I decided to just stop while it was short and make it a kid scarf. He wears them both everywhere. And asks “what does the fox say?” even more than before.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Then I decided to experiment with a variation on the hat pattern. My middle son, Timothy, is a forest boy. He goes to school two days a week in the forest. He loves all our local wildlife. I made up an owl hat for him.<\/p>\n

A great horned owl, in case it isn’t clear. I’ll try to post more details and better photos soon.<\/p>\n
Now, there’s one more hat to make, for the 9 year old. He has requested an eagle. That’s going to be interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
