I’ve been working frantically the past few days to get the costume made before the new baby arrives. I’ve got 3 days left to finish it up. The rest of the work if fairly minor so I should be able to do it. Here is a sneak preview:

The bat-hat

The bat-hat

Here are the details:
Pattern: Amelia Earhart Aviator Cap
Yarn: Rowan Wool Silk in Velvet Purple. DK weight.
Needles: Size 6 to make it small enough for a 5 year old head.
Mods: Just the smaller needles and of course, the bat-ears.

As for the costume, here is my todo list:

  • Make gloves (knitted to match the hat – one down, one to go)
  • Make mask
  • Add wrist straps to the cape
  • Make a matching candy collection bag

Plenty of time!
