We bought our Grandson a little blue duffle coat for Christmas and of course I had to make a sou'wester to go with it. After looking on the Internet for a pattern and finding only one that is for sale - I decided to have a go and make my own. The hat is crocheted and the basis of it is a pull on cap with an added brim. I have no idea how I got there in the end except through trial and error - sorry I did not write it down. I sewed the brim half back and added a teddy bear motif. The ties were added after giving it thought and realising that a 9 month old baby would probably pull the hat of his head lol! It goes wonderfully with his little Paddington duffle coat. This was bought from a store here in The Netherlands called Hema http://www.hema.nl/ which has really good quality clothes for children along with lots of other items. I am attempting to follow a pattern for a little pair of crocheted red boots to match - will see if it works or may end up buying a pair :).
