The monkey has a cat hat that has gone astray at preschool a couple of times (but has been found each time so far), but after the last time he commented that I should make a cat hat for the changeling too. Conveniently (or inconveniently, depending on your viewpoint) I have recently lost the helicopter hat that he had been wearing. It never quite fitted right, so I redrafted the pattern. I only had enough of the cat fabric for 3 panels, so I alternated it with a light brown cotton, which I also used for the lining.
The shape is still not quite right, and he is nearly ready to move up to the next size anyway, but this was a nice quick project to whip up and feel like I'd made something useful!
I still need to attach elastic, and a button on the top, but it is at least wearable in the back yard at the moment. I guess I will try to get it properly finished in time for him to wear it to playcentre on Thursday.

Oh, yes, because you do need hats this time of year. Well done, Mother.
