I was trying to knit a hat for baby Sam, but without a pattern. The first one came out rather tiny:

Just perfect for a little bear - it seems a shame to take it from him. Anyway I don't think it could have accommodated a baby for long, unless very scrawny. So i had another tangle with the wool.

...or too small for bears this time.
But hopefully just right for the intended wearer!
