Notes

I would change the orientation on the hat by 90 degrees--the ridges on the cowboy hat are not parallel to the sides that curl up, and they should be. I also used the butter rather than fedora, as I don’t really remember cowboy hats being dark brown most of the time…

Notes

Quick, easy knit overall.  Not a lot of complications, perhaps the fastest out of the Sheldon patterns.  Only issue is that Sheldon has droopy drawers--I may need to rig something to attach the trunks to the life jacket--otherwise, they likely won’t stay in place.
