Bruce Hat

 

Bruce Hat

I don't normally add pom-poms to baby hats, but the 'soon-to-be-mum' that I made this for especially asked for a big pom-pom for her baby hat!  

I hope she likes my gift.

Lacy Heart

 It is St. Valentine's Day, so I thought it was a perfect time to share this sweet little heart square.

Little Lacy Heart Square

Knitted with DK yarn and 4mm needles, this motif measures a little less than 4"

DK seems to vary quite a bit!  ~ this one measures 3¾" square.
