Ribbons Hat

Is this cute, or what? ;) Glamour shots time...
This is another pattern from the Itty Bitty Hats book (like the upside down daisy hat). The hat itself is easy to knit. You make the eyelets (little holes) by doing yarn overs.

I had fun looking for ribbons at Vogue fabrics. It's just up the street from our place, so I rode my bike over there and spent awhile browsing through their selection. A lady working there suggested the cherries ribbon--love it! She also dissuaded me from a cute nautical ribbon--"I think that's a little summery, dear, for a winter hat." heehee--she was right. Can I help it that I live with a sailor and now whenever I see an anchor or a sailboat I think, "Ooh, I like that!"
