After being told one of your friends is planning to name their baby Thor, there is only one reasonable course of action.
And that is to knit a viking hat.
Baby Viking Hat
Yarn: Karabella Aurora 8 (Gray #26, Brown #258, Off White #135)
Needles: US 6
Pattern: Bella Knitting's version
Size: smallest
Recommended reading while knitting: The Lightning Thief.


Love the hat. Highly recommend Guy Gavriel Kay's "The Last Light of the Sun" for Viking-type knitting. Hope baby's parents realize that they are sentencing their child to a life of people wondering whether the poor kid has a lisp (punchline to an ancient joke about the morning after a wild night in Valhalla: "You think you're Thor? I'm tho thore I can't even pith").
