New Hat Week
I want to thank Ruby for directing me to the pattern for this cute hat. I saw it on her blog the other day and decided to give it a try. This hat comes in two variations. The version I made is called Seed Stitch Hat. This is a good pattern that I will use again. I made it according to the directions and ended up with a hat that will fit a 3-5 lb baby. I think it looks a little like a muffin from the bakery.
There are lots of free patterns on the internet for preemie hats. I know, because I have collected a binder full! So this week's knitting focus will be to test some those. I'm calling it New Hat Week. I will knit only hats that I have never tried before. I hope they all turn out as cute as today's hat. We'll see. I can't guarantee a new hat everyday, but I'm going to try. I leave you with a picture of Monday's hat as viewed from the top. The decreases create a pretty spiral.

ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love the view from the top! It does look like a little muffin. Great idea to try out different patterns. I'll be checking back!
ReplyDeleteIt's adorable! And you're right, it does look a little like a muffin :)
ReplyDeleteToo cute. I'll definitely have to try out this pattern. Your hats always inspire me to knit my own. I'll be watching all of your new hats this week.
ReplyDeleteso cute!
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet. I always look forward to seeing the new patterns you try. Oh and don't worry b/c your hats are ALWAYS cute! I'm going to have to try this one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling hat!
ReplyDeleteDid you see that there's a tea cozy contest... (it's in the current english knitter's magazine, the name of which escapes me just now). Grand prize is a weekend in England with LOTS of tea. This one would be a natural, I think.
