I just love knitting when the weather turns cold…..this little hat took 2 nights in front of the tv and an afternoon to knit and keira loves it. The pattern is from a Cleckeaton book called ‘Handknits to Wrap and Adorn’ and is cute but it was fiddly picking up stitches around the little ear flaps
but it looks super cute and the yarn was a steal at $5 for a 100g ball (100% australian wool) at lincraft! The sizing is a bit off but thats why you’re supposed to do tension squares…..I was doing so well with tension squares but decided if it didn’t fit keira it would fit someone! And you know what, I think we may have put it on backwards!!!
I’m not sure how long the plaits will last as miss keira likes to walk around pulling at them…..
doesn’t look like keira is feeling the cold yet… or is the beanie so warm she doesn’t need clothes 😀 my little boy would live without clothes if i let him!!
I take it Keira only feels the cold if she hasnt got her hat on! So cute and pretty colors too.
she looks so adorable,Im impressed with your quick handi work.
lovely hat! very impressive piece of work for only a couple of evening’s work – nice one!
Knit mama knit !!! What lovely craftmanship.
Such a cute hat, and only 2 nights to knit! Wow, there must be sparks flying off those needles! Great colors, great job!
I love the beanie and Keira looks pretty pleased too
Great looking hat…I’m amazed at how quickly you stitched it!
