I finished a hat--for me! This pattern is called "Pansy" and is from a pattern book by Louisa Harding. The yarn is also by Louisa Harding. All the patterns in the book are very whimsical and feminine.
The pattern called for it to be knit flat, instead of in the round. I am always a little annoyed when I find that out! I love knitting hats in the round--it just doesn't make sense to me to knit them flat and then sew the two sides together. Oh, well, I like the way it turned out despite my reservations.
I'm wearing it with the skinny cabled neckwarmer that I made a few months ago. Does anyone else look forward to colder winter just a little bit just so they can wear cute wintry accessories?
What a cute little elf! This hat is from Susan B. Anderson's "Itty Bitty Hats." It took about 4 nights to finish it--longer than most baby hats (I guess since it was longer in length!). I love the way it came out. Looking forward to taking some fun Christmas-y photos of Andrew in his candy cane hat.
The photos are courtesy of Jim...I love all the details of the coral reef that he captured.
In keeping with the bear theme, I made him a bear hat. This pattern is called "Bunny Tail" and is from Susan B. Anderson's "Itty Bitty Hats."
I tried to make it a little larger so he can wear it for a few months...but it fits pretty well right now!
