This great hat comes complete with rainbows, pastries and kitty ears. If you want to make your own, the pattern is available for purchase and supposedly it's ideal for novice knitters (I can't knit, so it would be hard for me either way.)

I've been knitting a little more than a year, so this hat is definitely accessible for anyone who wants to improve their basic skills. A trip to KnittingHelp.com would be all you need to learn anything you're unfamiliar with :)
