You will need a pom-pom maker for the cherry on top.

I created this hat for my daughter who has recently falling in love with Shrek. This modeled version was knit for her 3rd birthday and had become a daily staple. I added a short row in the ear to create more of a Shrek ear shape so be careful when you add the ear to make sure they both face front.

I woke up one day with a picture of this jacket in my head, color and everything. It looked a bit like Coco Chanel but I am definitely more casual than Ms. Chanel so I nixed the fancy bits, added ties and Voila, the Abercorn Jacket!
