A Hat for a Two-headed Baby

I'm thinking of fall. I'm thinking specifically of what clothes William won't outgrow before it's cold outside, and how many pairs of tiny corduroy pants and knit sweaters I get to buy. And I'm thinking of making him the perfect cozy little hat. Of course, perfect should not be a word I use. Remember the last time I tried to knit a hat?

But here goes. I'm trying again. So far, I've only had to completely undo every last stitch three times because of errors that would turn my hat into an infinity circle, also known as a figure 8, or a hat for a two-headed toddler. This time, I've made it farther than ever without a ruinous error, so maybe this hat will actually pan out. I figure since I'm starting in August, it should be ready by October. Or November. At the latest. Are there any projects that intimidate you but you're going to try anyway?
