Here in the South of England we have been having a bit of a heatwave - six days of warm sunshine! It has been lovely for me as I have not been at work, and have been able to enjoy it . I have spent a couple of hours each day sitting in the garden with a book ....... noticing the smell of the grass and flowers, listening to the birds, and looking at the few clouds pass overhead ......
It has been too hot to knit much - so all I have to show for the week is a pile of baby hats!
Here is my latest pattern. It is simple - but I hope you think it is cute too!

do you ever give instructions for knitting your hats in the round? love this hat but am really no good at sewing seams and not sure how to figure it out for knitting in the round.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I look for patterns without seams ever since I was told that babies' soft heads can get a ridge if they are laying on a seam - but I think I can redo this to be seamless, because it's so cute!
DeleteLove this little baby hat pattern..can almost smell the newborn...so sweet.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing so kindly��
Beautiful hats. I am hoping to knot them for my third grandchild who is due in January. Thank you. Jackie
