  3. Thank you. I was wondering what to knit next. I have several Babbity outfits ready to go to my neonatal unit. I will make some of these with the left over wools.
    Thanks again

  4. It is lovely. I love the name. I have fond memories of the island. I was in fact nearly called Iona.

  8. Does this pattern come in a 6-9 month size to match the cardigan please?

  9. Love the pattern but why is there a singular slipped stitch at the beginning of every row? I haven't found a reason to need this and all it does it is pull the bottom of the hat further up. Unless I am missing something, which I might be, but I can't find any description as to why either. If there could be a clarification as to why that would be great!

  10. I always slip the first stitch of every row. It is actually quite common and I find gives a better finish.
