Five Baht Elephant

Made: Sleep Season Slouch Hat + Leftover Hat

December 28, 2014

My friend, Tra’Cee, wanted a me to knit her a hat.

Me: What kind?
T: Surprise me.

Fancy Tiger hosted a Holiday Pop Up shop for a few local vendors. I picked up this skein of DK weight Merino dyed by Heather of The Lemonade Shop (link to her Etsy shop). I saw a sample knit of the Sleep Season Slouch Hat in the store and thought it’d be great for Tra’Cee. And the pattern is a free download.

Bad Day Yarn

For Christmas, we opted to drive to Ohio rather than fly. The cost for 4 plane tickets were just too much – that’s what I get for waiting to even look for plane tickets – so we packed the car and headed east. Which meant LOTS OF KNITTING TIME. I knitted up Tra’Cee’s hat all the way through Kansas and part of Missouri.

The pattern is pretty simple and a great one for beginning knitters.

I had a bit of yarn leftover and was able to squeak out a skull cap. Which I’m going to keep. Modeled below by my little guy.

    That is such fun yarn! Love how it knitted up, and the matching-hats pic of you and your son is so stinkin’ adorable. 😀

::The Name::

Five Baht Elephant. My mother is from Thailand, where elephants are royal animals. Growing up Mom would tell us to save our pennies, "in case a man came to our door selling elephants." At the time we thought it was the most absurd thing ever. Now I realize it was the Thai version of saving for a rainy day. Lets hope that we can buy an elephant for only five baht!
