Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak

Suggested Patterns:

• King of the Wild Things crown by Little Turtle Knits (Pattern Cost: $6.00)
  
  

Side note: Of course, you can customize your crown to be any color. Holly made a crown and paired it with a princess book.

How about a cat hat?

• fluffyhelen's Kitty Hat pattern:

Yarn: Any white chunky yarn.
Needles: US 10 .5 (6.5 mm)

Cast on 30 stitches (You will have to adjust the number of cast on stitches to fit a child's head.)

Rows one and two: Knit one, purl one across.
Rows three and four: Purl one, knit one across.
Row five and six: Knit one, purl one across

Then knit stockinette (knit 1 row, purl 1 row) for about 10 inches.

Then another 6 rows of moss stitch. - or

Rows one and two: Knit one, purl one across.
Rows three and four: Purl one, knit one across.
Row five and six: Knit one, purl one across

Bind off in pattern.

So it looks like a long scarf basically. Then fold it over and sew it up so the moss stitch forms a "band" around the bottom of the hat. Put it on your head and the ears form naturally.

• Or, knit the official Kittyville hat in white if you're looking for some ear coverage.
