I knit pumpkin hats for Isaac and Nathan (pattern link and details here):

There’s a bit of a size difference, obviously.

I made the stem longer and crocheted a leaf freehand.

I increased the size of Nathan’s hat (age 8 months) from the newborn size, to 72 stitches around, and 6.5″ before I started the decreases. I used 16″ circulars for his hat instead of dpns.

Body is Red Heart Soft (worsted), stem is Sugar & Cream to give it a rough texture.

Of course I had to dress Isaac up for Halloween. Here he is as a slightly cranky burrito (with extra sour cream, I guess):

The label has checkboxes for chicken burrito, carnitas burrito, steak burrito, and Isaac burrito.

I knit most of this while I was on bedrest in the hospital.

It’s about 40″ square, a variation on the Cable Lace Stole pattern. It’s a wool/silk DK from elann.com, worked on #8 needles.
