There's no basement in the Alamo!
I just started knitting, and my friend really wanted this hat off of Shanalogic, but didn't want to pay the $35 for it, so I got to work.

As modeled by Tako the Octopus. It no longer looks like a boob thanks to the ruffle, hooray.
I just got a book about knitting stuffed animals, and I'm very excited about that.

That. Is. Sickeningly. CUTE. So much that I must make myself one soon. Also where did you get Tako the Octopus? I have a Tako the Ocotpus-sized hole in my life that needs filling!

Thanks! I didn't use a pattern. If you know how to make a regular hat, you can make this cupcake boob. It's actually the second hat I've ever made, so it has to be easy. The ruffle is a separate piece, which I grafted on after completing the hat.

As for Tako, I bought him in Japan, where I'm living now. I'm working as an English teacher here and I recently discovered an awesome craft store in my town, so knitting is my new hobby. I got a book for Christmas called The World of Knitted Toys, and everyone I knew put in orders for platypi (platypusses?) and clownfish and such, so I've got my work cut out for me. The book is by Kath Dalmeny and has a ton of designs, so I'd recommend it for anyone looking for a book of stuffed animal patterns. I'm going to look around for some books here once I get paid again.

Sorry for the slight derail. Back to projects!
