Baby Hats...Let It Snow man!

A few years ago, I saw the cutest little baby hat on Franklin Habit's blog.  There was no pattern and to this day there is still no pattern that I know of.  I loved the "Charlie Brown-esque" face.  It was so cheery.  I've seen a lot of snow man hats but none as cute as his design. But........there was no pattern!!!

I always respect copyright laws.  As a craft person (and one who sold my own patterns at one time), I know how much work goes into producing original designs and I would never "steal" someone else's design and claim it as my own.  But in the absence of a pattern and being that I am not selling these but only making the hats for my own use, I "copied" the design somewhat.  My version is not an exact copy but I did make my face like the inspiration hat.  Franklin had a scarf around the neck of his snowman and his hat design was different and had a tassel instead of a pom-pom.  

I love my version of Franklin's hat and it's been a favorite of my girls.  I need to make a few more for them. This snowman hat was a fun knit and knits up quickly.
