I had some yarn leftover from the knitted top that I made for Penny and found a hat pattern that I dared to try. This is my first knit hat and my first attempt at a picot cast on. I just love the look of picots, though I had no idea how to make them. I read about them in my Knitting for Dummies book but it was a video that I found on line that really made it click. It's so simple once you know what you are doing! I thought that this pattern, the Beanie Hat from Louisa Harding's Natural Knits for Babies and Moms, was the perfect match for the top. It is a touch on the big side but I am happy about that because the top is too. Hopefully she will get lots of wear out of both pieces before she outgrows them. Now my yarn is all gone so it is back to sewing I go!
so sweet - what a great match!
ReplyDeleteSooooo CUTE!
ReplyDeletebeautiful, amy! it's funny, i was recently thinking about doing a crocheted baby hat with picot edging. after seeing how great yours looks, i'll have to try it out the next time someone i know has a baby.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful. The little hat looks so cute. What a great picture. I love it.

ReplyDeleteLove the hat it completes the look. Great job!
ReplyDeletePenny's hat came out great! Congratulations on concurring the picot cast on!
ReplyDeleteI love when babies are all matchy :)
Penny sure seems like a very happy baby. Is she always a sweetie or are you just showing us her "good" side? My oldest was always a happy baby. His sister was a moody little thing and still is as a teenager lol.
Oh Amy...AWESOME job!! It is so sweet! I've never heard of that cast on..I will have to check out that video!
