looking for patterns for nice children's hats.

[genii]

Hi - I have decided to start knitting a winter hat for ds so it might be done in time for colder weather.
I'd really like to do an animal one with ears. Does anyone know any patterns for this sort of thing? (don't mind if it's a pattern I need to pay for)
TIA

Can you crochet? I'm in love with this

if crochet is an option i second the owl hat, I made one for ds last year. Although it doesn't have ears, for dd I made a fish hat - if you have a google they are funky and fab, the fish mouth is the opening for your head! The other advantage is you can do a striped one and use up leftover yarn.
