One of the things I have been busy with lately was writing up a new pattern. I have more tulip photos too, but those will have to wait until another day, as I would like to now present to you the Myshka Tuque:
Myshka,
being Ukrainian for 'little mouse' seemed to suit this sweet little
tuque just right. Myshka is knit from the bottom up, starting in
back-and-forth rows with a half-linen stitch, then joined in the
round and knit in stockinette for the remainder. A button finishes it
off quite nicely. Myshka is sized from baby through to older
children, and the largest size may even fit some adults.
Sizing: Baby
(Toddler)(2 yr) (5yr+).
Shown in baby and 2-year-old sizes.
Circumference of Hat:
13”/33cm

inches of negative ease; hat stretches to fit snugly.
