I was talking to my 3 1/2 year old son tonight while he ate dinner,
and the following conversation took place:
Me: Noah, do you want a new hat this year?
Noah: Yes, mommy. Where is it?
Me: I have to knit it first. What color hat do you want? Red?
Orange? Blue...?
Noah: (thinks a minute) I want a purple hat, Mommy!
Me: Okay, I love purple! What else do you want on it? Do you want
stripes?
Noah, yeah, I want Blueberry stripes!
Me: oooooh...kay. Blueberry stripes sound great! A purple hat with
blueberry stripes?
Noah: yah, and Go Diego! on it
Me: (thinking to myself--holy crap, how am I going to knit that???)
Okay, a purple hat with blueberry stripes and a Go Diego! on it???
That sounds great, Noah!
Noah: No, mommy, not Go Diego! I want Oswald. (his favoriite
children's character)
Me: Okay. You want a purple hat with blueberry stripes and a picture
of Oswald on it?
Noah: yah!! that's what I want.
Now I ask you all for some adivice. Any ideas on what shade of purple
would go with "blueberrry" stripes? Here's a link to Oswald (an
octopus) so you can see what he looks like. He's blue, too.

I was thinking of making the hat purple and blue striped and putting
the Oswald image in the center after running it through a knitting
chart software that I found online. Any ideas or advice welcome!
HELP!!!!

I agree with you Mirjam, I looke at the image and I would embroider it
rather than try to make small octopus legs in knit
It is possible to get the colors. The shades would be close, I believe
it would look COOL.

I think I'll do horizontal stripes. I had considered knitting him the
hat a basic style hat of purple and blue (blueberry) stripes and then
knitting a separate 3-D Oswald and sewing that on top instead of a pom-
pom I could knit the octopus as a ball, embroider the face and stuff
it and then make I-cord legs to sew on to the body. Would that work?
