The Eddie Cap

Have you seen this around the traps? It's such a gorgeous cap, and relatively easy to make. The free online tutorial is available here at Mushroom Villagers (how cute are her kids!!).
I made this one using the same green stretch pinwale cord that I'd used in Ollie's robot pants the other day. There was just enough left over for a matching cap.
Despite measuring Ollie's head before making it, it turned out waaay too big - big enough to comfortably fit Miss J or myself.
Miss J suggesting putting some elastic into the band so that it fit Ollie. Now it fits him perfectly! And he loves it, too, which is always a bonus.

great cap & thanks for the link. I have some of this stretch cord fabric & it is very wintery & such a great colour.

Gorgeous! Loved the robot pants too - and the bag that inspired them is amazing isn't it.
I have some of that robot fabric too - couldn't resist it, and that's saying something cos I have three girls!

What a goody! Thanks for the excellent link. Sounds like Ollie won't be needing a new hat for a decade or so!
