Good job!! I love these little pixie looking hats. It is so fun to make things up and have that freedom. It took me forever to get up the nerve, but I'm sure glad I finally did. Now you'll want to branch out to trying some other things without a pattern.
Grumpy - as you by now realise I think, a gumnut baby was one of the fictitious characters in May Gibbs' wonderful children's story "Snugglepot and Cuddlepie". A book I read as a child, scared me, made me laugh and I was in awe at the journey I was taken on. A truly fabulous Australian story.

How cute is that! Good job on the use of both knitting and crochet to achieve the effect you wanted. You're my kind of crafter--use what works and make it up as you go along!!
