Remember the baby hat I was knitting a week or so ago? Well, I finished it :) Overall, I am pleased with how it came out.
Overall I'm happy with it :) |
I did run into a few um, complications, but they were easily fixed. For example, I was planning on starting my decreases at 4.5", but, apparently I had an issue reading a tape measurer and started them more at like 5" which made for a big baby hat! But, I just folded the bottom and it worked out. And then I couldn't figure out how I wanted to top the hat...I thought about the Marley topper from Susan B. Anderson, but wasn't loving how it was looking, and I only had the pink yarn....so went with a big ol' pompom. And then the colors....I love the vibrancy of it, BUT, I was hoping the striping would be skinnier and that there wouldn't be such a large chunk of yellow (not my favorite color).
I also finished the first mitt from Wednesday, so as an added bonus:
I love this! |
I am off to Stitches tomorrow, so expect a super special Squee Sunday :)

ReplyDeleteI love the hat! It's so cute, particularly the pompom.
ReplyDeleteHot diggity dog Amy! That is so coooooool! Post the pattern asap!
ReplyDeleteI don't think you can ever go wrong with a pom pom! I like the wide stripes. Great hat!
ReplyDeletePS I meant post the completed pattern - decreases and how many rows and all - when you get to it, lol. Am I bossy or what??
ReplyDeleteSSSShhhhhhh, did anyone note she said she went to Stitches???? Oooooooh. Wishing I were there!
ReplyDeleteBTW, such a cute hat!
I like the yellow band, it looks really good with the pattern! And well done on finishing so many WIPs =)
ReplyDeleteI really love the hat! I also love the yellow, but that's just me. Also, there's nothing better than a little baby with a big old pom pom stuck to her head!
ReplyDeleteAw thanks everyone! I'm glad you like it :D Like I said, yellow isn't my favorite color of all time, but it does look cute with the pink and green. And I love pom poms...I really need to look for a smaller pom pom maker rofl...the one on this hat is my smallest size and it's so cute and ridiculous.
ReplyDelete@ Julie - Yes ma'am!!!
@ Erin - You should totally try to make it :) Hartford isn't too far from Boston. I will take tons of pictures :)
@ GirlAnachronismE - Thank you :D I try not to have too many going on at once, which helps with the finishing LOL
