A Star for Elizabeth

 I was playing around, making a little knitted star today, when I heard the sad news that Queen Elizabeth had died. She herself was a bright and shining star through 70 years of loyal service to our country. In happy times and sad times too, her humour, compassion and dignity shone through. 

RIP Your Majesty. I would like to dedicate my Star to you.

Ribster Hats - Baby, Toddler & Child Sizes

 I have been knitting ribbed baby hats for around 6 years now! 

Because they are so stretchy, they are very practical......... And they seem to fit for ages!

I have now added new sizes, for toddlers and young children too.

Knit them as a beanie style hat - or add more rows if you prefer a turned-up brim.

And .... add a pom-pom if you like. 

These hats look great knitted in a plain self-coloured yarn, or with a variegated yarn. You choose !
