Red hat revisited

The first day of my new resolve only to knit Christmas presents from now until they are finished, I knit a hat for Owen. But it was cold outside and his head already outgrew the red hat with the heart that I knit for him what only seemed like a few weeks ago.

Pattern: Earflap Hat from Knitting for Baby by Melanie Falick and Kristin Nicholas.
Yarn: Plymouth Encore bulky

Unfortunately, Owen doesn't seem very fond of this new hat though it looks cute on him the 2 seconds before he pulls it off. The important thing is that it is plenty big and covers his little ears so I expect he will learn to enjoy it once I take him outside!
