Kid Size Dead Fish Hat Pattern

I adapted a pattern from the dead fish hat pattern (link below) to fit a smaller kid. Maybe 6 months to 5 years? 

http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter08/PATTfishy.php

I'm no pattern writer but I've had multiple requests.  I have no permission to adapt this pattern.
It's rough - just take it for what it is.  Trust your knitting instincts! Good luck.

Materials:
Worsted weight yarn
Size 7 circular and double pointed needles
Stitch marker
Yarn needle
Pattern from link above

Read the whole pattern from the link above.

Change colors whenever you want! I color out a pattern on graph paper and then follow that.

With lip color cast on 70 stitches. Place marker.
Knit 6 rows

Knit: Beanie with Tab and Button

Did a pattern test for knit in the womb designs on Facebook and love it! A classic beanie and then a tab with a button which is so easy and adds a level of class and charm. My husband made the button in the garage too!

Knit: Deer Hat

I saw this blog post: http://400squareftliving.blogspot.ca/2013/10/knitting-woodland-stagdeer-baby-hat.html

And she uses chunky yarn so I adapted the pattern to worsted weight and am quite happy with the results!!
