I think I've become a baby hat addict. They are so much fun to make and such a small project that I can take them everywhere. They take like three evenings each, if I really stretch it out, and the FO's are so tiny and cute!
I added a pom-pom to the slouchy baby beanie that I made. Its like comically oversized and totally out of proportion but whatev. Its just for a doll lol.
I made two more hats using this really cool free pattern on Ravelry.
This pic is overexposed but I wanted to show the really cool effect of the ssk decrease stitch on the top.
I also made this kinda funky looking hat. Its free and called Declan. I wanted a gnome look but its not quite there. Looks more like an upturned funnel lol.
I finished two Conversationalist hats. The first one went to my cousin Abigail for her 18th birthday! I used Cascade Superwash 220 for the teal and pink. I'm not sure what yarn I bought for the gold color. The teal looks so pretty on her.
I so obsessed over that pom-pom lol. It still looks a little ragged to me after trimming. I used the 3" Clover pom-pom maker and its appropriately huge but its kinda uneven and lumpy.
I want a perfect pom-pom!
With this Conversationalist, I agonized over the top two colors. I tried white, gold, and orange before finally settling on the pink with the blue pom-pom. I like it but not as much as the one I made for Abigail :/ I needed a dog walking hat for my dog sitting weekend coming up so it'll do.
And lastly, a Mariner's Scarf for my Uncle Brian. After finishing this scarf, I think I'm gonna stick to hats for awhile. No more long projects, ugh!
I bought some more I Love This Yarn in peacock, hot rose and sungold. It looks like the exact same colors that I used in Abigail's hat lol. I wanna make super rad baby hats with it!
I'll cast on a new baby hat while I'm thinking about the next project I wanna start. I promised to make two Christian's Hats for my cousins. I've been stalking this cool and easy free hat pattern from Tin Can Knits called Barley and I still wanna make the Miss Marple Scarf. Decisions LOL
