I named this adorably ridiculous vest after Sonny Bono, whose fringed vest will forever be remembered in the annals of time. This pattern is an adaptation of the “Newborn Fur Wool Gilet” by Rosa Pomar on Ravelry.com. She has adapted an Erika Knight Pattern for a children’s vest to fit a newborn, and I have made some adjustments of my own to her...

This hat came out of a need for a hat that was not too slouchy and not too tight. One night, I decided to experiment with just a slight variation on a knit cap and out came this waffley hat. To me, it looks like a waffle, or maybe a beaver’s tail.
