It's summer time, his head won't get too cold (unless you are worried about sunburn?).
My god, I can't believe we're discussing such things!

I am completerly flummoxed here - I wish I had thought of this BEFORE I attached the ears to the bunny!
Wendy
Are you crocheting the hat circular (like a tube) or will it have a seam?

Thanks for that reassurance, pwags, but I feel that he isn't a real
![I'm a Gnome, duh! :gnome](./images/smilies/icon_gnome.gif)
unless he has a
![I'm a Gnome, duh! :gnome](./images/smilies/icon_gnome.gif)
's hat on.
Samwalkers: I started circular, then made front and back, leaving holes for ears, then a round bit again. It wouldn't go over his ears, so I'm having another go.

Given that my bunny looks like a bloke, I may go with the gaffa tape. Thanks for the tips, people!

How about if you start circular then knit the front and back really l o n g. Then you can hem it up as you fit it. Whatever is left over roll it up.
Also:
I prefer the staple gun and hot glue to gaffa, though I did gaffa my boss once.

My son's patrol at Scouts is now officially "Duct Tape Patrol". Good choice I think.

it solves most problems at rovers too..
trying to figure out how to turn a spade into a sword for my pirate gnome. (I have the exact same gnome as candy cane's!) this could be intresting. or hard. or end up in the casualty ward.
(and then, i need to make the pirate hate. arrrrr!)
