Cute Baby Hat

One of my very best friends, Amy, just had her second baby - a perfect little girl named Kyra Ann born on September 27. I was looking for something unique and cute to whip up for this sweet baby girl and when I came across this pattern I could not resist. I knew the hat would be simple and the addition of the flower would be a good challenge for me to try out something new!




I took the hat to Kyra this morning (and got to have such a lovely cuddle with her!) and although I made the "preemie/small newborn" size, she will still need to grow into it. I can't wait to see the cutie in it!

The flower is made from an I-cord - which I had never tried before. Very simple to do, yet adds such a nice addition to the hat. Although the thought of knitting in the round with 4 needles is not always my favourite, I really do love the product in the end.

Now I need to figure out how to modify the pattern for my four year old niece who has requested a pink hat with light purple flower.

    Very cute hat! You've done it beautifully!

    I only crochet, so I'm always very impressed by those that can knit.

    Found you through Fibers on Friday.
