Knitted Mario beanie hat

This is a Christmas present for my eldest son, James. He is six and completely nintendo mad.

It was going to be a plain red hat, because red is his favourite colour.

But then, in a moment of madness I thought to myself, "perhaps I could try putting an M on it..."

So this is my first attempt at intarsia; not perfect by any means - the circle is rather hexagonal for a start!
