Yesterday I had another idea for a flag hat.
Flag Pin Preemie Hat
Knit a preemie hat in the color of your choice using this pattern or one of your favorites.
Embellish it with a knitted Flag Pin, a free pattern from Vogue Knitting.
Yarn: Bernat Satin Worsted Weight (hat), Omega Sinfonia Sportweight (flag)
Needles: US 7 (hat), US 1 (flag)
More cool hats!
ReplyDeleteThe flag pin is such a unique idea. I checked out the pattern and it looks fast and pretty easy.
You could add the pin to almost anything. Thank you for all of the information.
i can't wait to see these hats pop up on ravelry and in blogland. They are so adorable.
ReplyDeleteI love all the hats, but the preemie one is my favorite. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI can't decide which one to knit first! I need to buy the appropriate colors of yarn first.
ReplyDeleteThese are so cool, Tracy! :-)
Just adorable! Thanks for the pattern.
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe are all adorable hats. One of the blogs I follow is documenting the roller coaster that is the life of DH's niece's preemie son.
ReplyDeleteLove the preemie hats. The tag tree is starting to look really nice Thank you!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Tracy, I love your hats, as usual. I've been toying with the idea of starting a little knitting group for kids at the elementary school where Russ teaches. Most of the kids there are from families living below the poverty line. They always appreciate any attention they get. I was thinking that eventually I could do some "charity" knitting with them. I thinka lot of them would be proud to do something that helps others.
