This is such an adorable baby hat! My sister is due around Halloween, and I think this would be the perfect thing to make for her! I might have to adjust it for a newborn size, but I do not think that will be too difficult. I cant wait to start making some really cute patterns for my niece or nephew!

This is ridiculously adorable! It would be perfect for a simple pumpkin Halloween costume or even just to wear throughout October.
