A Puddin’ Cap

I wouldn’t say I’m good at crafts, but I love doing them.  I especially love making things I know my characters would make or have around their house.

Toby and Ora from the Threads of Magic series live in something of a psuedo 18th – 19th century world.  I play around with the range of available inventions quite a bit, in part because of how annoyed I was when a beta reader insisted I couldn’t put guns in a fantasy novel.  Ha!

But this little creation is well suited to Toby and Ora’s world.  In this world, it’s called a puddin’ cap.  It’s designed for babies and toddlers just learning to walk, so when they fall, they won’t become … puddin’ heads

I can easily picture my two main characters wearing these as toddlers, although probably not with a Winnie The Pooh print.  And hopefully better made

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s a link to purchase the instructions and patterns for this cap.  Good luck and let me know how it turns out.

Cheers
