I made this for the old lady that lives next door for Christmas- for her to wear over her curlers. She loves it!

I must have liked her patterns. LOL I made 2 of these hats and they worked up nice and quick.

This is so cute. I have a mind to try to make a small one for my little baby.

Hmmm...I just made this hat last night but I found it on another site (a blog, actually) and the lady said that this is her own personal design. The date of the pattern listing on her blog is 5 years after the date of Pat's listed above. Coincidence? http://vallieskids.blogspot.com/2009/06/olivias-butterfly.html

Coincidence?

 

Probably considering it's just a simple DC beanie with a butterfly stitch at the bottom.
