Pippa in her new bear hat.

This is a double header week of sneak peeks! Today’s sneak peek is a miniature bear hat for a doll. To be specific, the hat fits my Blythe doll, who, after a spa day where she received a sanding, make up and freckles, earned it. I think Pippa looks pretty awesome now in the garden lavender.

I made the hat from some Alessandri Filati Super Kid (70% mohair, 30% silk) in Light Blue, a perfect sort of yarn for making a bear hat. I did a little bit of reckoning and cast on. I think Pippa likes the result.

Don’t tell Pippa, but this was also a miniature bear hat practice run to see if I liked the result. Which I’m pretty sure that I do. My dilemma now is whether to make this in people sizes, from infant to adult like the Foxy Business Hat. Which you folks seem to enjoy. So would you enjoy a bear hat too? Should I release the doll pattern too?
