Hello fellow bloggers. Today I finished this hat that a friend asked me to make for her. Well, not for her but for a baby of a friend of hers. It was a delight to make, very fast and easy. The yarn I used was called Amerino, a combination of Cotton and Acrylic. The color does not show exact but is a neutral beige in color with some specks of pure white. I'm not sure you can see that, but it's there.
Plain I felt I needed to add something. Originally I knit it with the fun fur fringe in the brim, but it turned out with most of the fur appearing on the inside of the brim and I didn't like it so had to tear it all out. Instead I knitted a flower and added a vintage pearl button to secure it and make the flower more noticeable.
I tried several color flowers but none of them seemed to do the hat justice. I went with the same yarn used in the body of the hat.
Now, to see if I can make some little shoes as an ensemble. I never did them so don't know how long it will take me to find the pattern and actually get them done. Best be getting busy.
I am enjoying viewing what you are all up to so don't stop.
Peggy, this hat is adorable and I love the flower with the button...Just the right touch.....It is just so precious.........
ReplyDeleteI haven't ever knitted any baby shoes either so let me know how it goes.....
Adorable hat, Peggy! The flower is the perfect finish. I love that the hat has a brim for the baby. And shoes too! So cute.
