Colts Baby Hat with Charted Horseshoe

I had previously knit a Colts hat for my brother last year. Now that he has a son, I wanted to knit him a hat, too. Since a 12 month old's hat would be way too small for the original chart, I decided to go back to the drawing board and design a smaller horseshoe.

I knit this hat in the round, and used duplicate stitch to add the smaller horseshoe just like I did with the original hat. Since the hat is a gift, I tried it on my daughter's head to make sure it fit properly. I think it turned out well, so I've included this littler charted horseshoe, too.
