First Day Baby Hat

Recently I experienced the great joy of welcoming my first Grandchild into the world! 

The first item she wore was a little hat of course! And I realised the importance of a sweet little hat that STAYS ON! 

So here is my latest pattern - for a cute little hat that fits snugly!
