My ‘vegan swap’ swap partner has a ton of gorgeous hats in her ravelry projects list, including a mad hatter hat, which I just need an excuse to try and mimic (halloween anyone?). Her hats inspired me to dig out a picture and share this knit.
A couple of summers ago I spent about a month travelling around Scandinavia, and found the most adorable cartoon personality in Finland: Moomin. Apparently Moomin was even big in the UK, as Señor Caracol used to watch it as a little kid. In fact it inspired him to request a Snuffkin Hat.
So, I cast on in noro (his choice!), and knit and tinked and ripped and finally felted, and I think it turned out just great.
What do you think?

I think this hat is fantastic! I need to try this one. It reminds me of my childhood “sun hat”!
Finland! My first childhood penpal was from Finland!! Must be a great place.
