Kasey and Erica's surprise hat

I've decided to finally work on a mohawk hat. I bought the yarn on knitpicks before xmas and was going to make Dallas Cowboy Mohawk hats for the kids. Never got around to that. Mike's cousin is having a baby with his gf. He's in a heavy metal band, so I thought it would be cool to try it out and make one for their baby. I started on blue and then thought, wait what if it's a girl. Had to text a friend to find out the sex of the baby. It was a boy, dang I'm good!! I wrote up a pattern last night on some graph paper. Going to put the name of his band on the sides of the hat with a skull on the top! Hawk is going to be mostly white with some blue splashes in it. I think she'll be due sometime in April or May. A couple of months till Fall and he'll be able to wear it. I'm going to felt the hat and it's my 2nd time with intarsia in the round. Not too familiar with color. I'm carrying over the yarn. I'm sure there's a better and easier way but I couldnt find any information or videos about this online. OH WELL. I figured it wouldn't be that noticeable since I'll be felting it. I hope it really shrinks ALOT! I used another pattern made for felting and it used 60 co sts. I co 70 tho because my design is 29 sts long...so far so good. I'm almost done with half of the name. Hopefully can finish this up tonight....
