This new hat coincides with her losing her first tooth. Wow. So grown up. And, unwilling to contemplate animal ears on hats (even if she has given a few admiring inspections of her little sister's new bunny rabbit hat).
Anyhow, this hat is just a smaller version of the bobble hat I made for myself. I cast on 36 stitches instead of 41, and then made the finished length of the hat a bit smaller, too, before following the same instructions of shaping the crown. It worked, and the hat fits. The biggest girl was not too impressed at the plain black hat I presented her with, until I explained I was planning to teach her how to make a red pom pom, so that she could make it look like Minnie the Minx. That went down very well.
What's the going rate for the tooth fairy to leave for a tooth, we wondered. The consensus came back with £1. But maybe a bit less for subsequent ones - depending on how much change the tooth fairy has in her purse...
My son has lost 2 teeth so far and the tooth fairy has left £1 each time. The only problem in our house is that our tooth fairy is a little forgetful and each time has only just managed to place it under the pillow without disturbing a waking boy!!!
ReplyDeleteHa ha - yes, I was paranoid about forgetting to do the deed. And nearly did.
DeleteCool hat! Tooth fairy pays £1 in our house too, although I know some people do 50p for the first (smaller) teeth and then £1 for the back teeth. Wish we'd thought of that earlier :/!!!!

Yep - me too. She already has another wobbly one on the way... this could get expensive! ;)
