Pink hat in Knit One Crochet Too Baby Boo
My Sweet Dreams Baby Hat has caught the attention of a lot of people online and that makes me happy. I have been knitting several of these hats for my friends who are having grandbabies and various people we know who are having babies. They knit up so quickly, I don’t mind making a few in a day. One of my favorite yarns to use for this hat is Knit Picks Swish DK. The yarn is unbelievably soft for a baby and it’s washable. Every book I look at that has baby patterns uses cashmere or a cashmere blend. Not only are some of these yarns unaffordable but they are impractical for new moms. I always try to give something machine washable when I make blankets or garments as a baby gift. The yarn I used in this pink hat is a bamboo blend that is squishy and soft. It knits up a size bigger than the Swish DK but it’s machine washable and the baby will grow into it.
I finished up my Ruffled Scarf class and finished the scarf I was knitting for the class. It’s being blocked now so I’ll have photos next time I post. I do love the Malabrigo yarn I used but may try something a bit different next time just to see how it looks.
My Baby Surprise Jacket sample was a big hit at Knit Happens and I’m hoping it inspires lots of people to try the BSJ class or pattern. I knit my Boston Beret with the same Baby Boo yarn to match and I think it makes a really cute toddler set. I’ll have photos of that soon too.
I’m working on another hat pattern that combines knitting and crochet embellishments. Since I knit and crochet, it’s fun to put them together to make something new.
Keep on creating and remember – if you make a mistake, take a deep breath and work through it. Chances are, no one will ever know but you.
