Logan's Baby Hat

This hat uses the same eyelet pattern as Logan's half blanket, and is knit using approximately a half skein of Phentex Chunky (left over from knitting said blanket). It is sized for a baby of the 0-6month vintage, and can of course be adjusted for smaller/bigger heads. This hat is modeled by a UNC plastic soda cup.
