Notes

Hank wants a ski mask just like the one I made for his Daddy, only in red. He also thinks that little brother John needs one in blue.

11/13/2010-Need to size the pattern down to fit ages 4-10. Using #6 needles for ribbing and #8 needles for hat portion. CO 76 stitches for neck and work in 2X2 rib for 6 inches (Long on the neck but that good in cold IA and the boys are growing).

12/19/2010 - One down one to go……

12/30/2010 - Blue one is done. I’ll get pic’s posted soon. I’ll post my mods to the pattern (I scaled it down for kid sizes) on my blog soon as well.
