When my brother told me that he was going to be a dad, I was working in my lab, late at night and didn't know what to do with my happiness. I happened to have some cotton yarn and knitting needles, and so I did the obvious. Knit up a hat at 3.00 a.m. Here's the pattern (From the web) and the finished hat.
