Baby hat knitting season has begun! I have three friends with babies due in the fall. I started with a Pastel Marley hat. I have a lot of Cotton Classic yarn in pastels from Susan B. Anderson's jackpot that Mom won for me. I wasn't sure if I had picked a color palette that I really liked until the very end, when I attached the Marley toppers. Those toppers really make the hat! I decided to only do 2 toppers, instead of the 5 she wrote for in the pattern. I think that would be a little too overwhelming on a newborn's head.
I really enjoy making baby hats for people; the only bummer is that I rarely get to see a photo of the baby in the hat! It's hard to know if the hats I'm making are the right size for a newborn, but I always hope the baby will at least fit into it during the next cold season.
What a sweet hat! Looks like a bakery confection, adorable!
