Baby hats are cute!
November 25, 2010I finished my patternless hat! 
I’m really pleased by how it turned out.
Baby gift complete!
That Tanis yarn is SWEET. Seriously sweet. I do love the slight variations in the yarn colour, and I like the weight of it. It’s a heavy fingering weight, it knits up beautifully in projects and is quite durable. Plus, merino ftw! And I used up my leftovers from my daybreak shawlette. None left!
I’m also working on another baby hat and sweater set – well, that is to say I’ve finished the hat and have yet to complete the sweater but it’s on the sticks. When I feel better I’ll get to it, but right now I’m a perambulating sinus.
Dalton likes the hat too.
As you can see by the hat on the reindeer, the yarn is a bit busy. I think the best way to describe it would be wildly variegated. Because of the colours, I think it’s definitely necessary to make a sweater to match. It’s got some wool too, which makes it a bit scratchy to work with for me but will wash up nice and soft for baby. I’m looking forward to being done…
… because then I get to do projects JUST FOR ME. I’m going to make a lovely cabled hat for me, and then some wonderful coffee cup mittens. All in yummy yummy merino wool!
