Just in time for Valentine's Day



I knit these hats following Susan B. Anderson's free pattern, Heart on a String. They knit up so quickly because you hold two strands of yarn together (or you can use a super bulky yarn one-stranded). I made the little red one in about 2 hours! I knit the largest one in Spud and Chloe Outer yarn (super bulky). It feels delicious!
I made the two smallest hats with plans to give them to Kathy, the woman who gave me all her wonderful maternity clothes. She has a 4 year old daughter and a 5 month old daughter. The largest hat was orginally intended for the 4 year old, but it came out too big, so I made another smaller one and am going to keep the largest one for me (secretly I am glad!!).
Mom bought me custom-made labels to sew into my knitted creations...I love them! Don't they look so professional? Thanks, Mom!
