I think this one might be more Mo’s size than Rae’s … hard to say without trying it on them. It’s a free pattern from Ravelry but I cast on fewer stitches and knit it to a shorter length.
Are you a perfectionist? In knitting I don’t think I could be even if I wanted to. I know enough to get by but I dropped a stitch when I was binding off and while I managed to pick it back up, you can see, if you look closely, where I didn’t do it quite right but it’s good enough for a child’s hat that will be worn for a season ….
So cute! Thank you for providing the link to this. My 10 year old would love a hat like this. Hope I can get it done for Christmas for her (my knitting is far from perfect and I’m rather slow at it, but it’s fun to try!)
It’s looks good to me. I have a joke about my knitting dish cloths: some are made by Hedy and some by Igor. The square ones are made by Hedy and the lopsided 5 corner weird ones are made by Igor. Igor is Hedy who gets so engrossed in a tv show she forgets where she is while knitting. One pattern I like is knitted corner to corner and that’s the one that gets really weird.

Nice to see even experts make mistakes. Cute hat!!
I’m terrible at fixing knitting mistakes! I definitely think for a kid hat, your repair may as well be invisible. Mo is going to look adorable in it!
