This has been my little project over the past several weeks...
I also tried out this new super-simple garter stitch hat pattern! It's actually a 14 in. knitted rectangle folded in half and stitched together along the side and top...then just pull the two top corners together and stitch in the center of the hat. Add a poof of a pom-pom and you're done!
This was for my friend Heather's new baby boy, Jacob, so I decided to embroider small red strawberries with pale white blooms in all four corners of the baby blanket...
This is how I wrapped it...and it was delivered. Sadly, the poor little guy has spent the last week or so in ICU from a quite serious respiratory infection. However, they're all happily back home again this week with the baby doing much, much better. And even happier still...she says the hat fits him perfectly!
And I'm so happy to have discovered more fun knitting ideas...and a darling little one to enjoy them! : D
