Having whipped up a Magic Coffee baby hat yesterday, I was inspired to power through the next one, and I finished it today. Here they are together.
Several family members and friends of mine are having girls in the next few months, and I found this hat so handy when the Wee Boy was a baby, so I’ll continue to knit these up for a while.
I’m also super inspired to use up this pink Elspeth Lavold Silky Wool from Stash Exchange 2014. At that stash exchange, I vowed to myself to use up my newly acquired yarn before the next exchange, and not let it become a repeat offender. I’d used some of it in a cowl, but I want to use it all up!
So to that end, I started another baby hat right away!
Because it’s stripes(less yarn used!) and baby hats (tiny!), this ball is getting smaller very slowly. It’ll be interesting to see how many hats I can eke out of it. I’m pairing it with different scraps in order to eventually have a good selection of hats to divvy up among the new baby girls. 👶
What a great idea! I will have to dig out that one skein that never seems to dwindle and see what I can match it to. But then I have to convert the pattern to worsted, but that’s no biggie! Cute hats, I love the purple and pink.
This pattern is written for worsted, so no conversion necessary! I veered a tad here by doubling sock yarn, which worked fine. Tonight I started one in a bulky yarn, I might have to adjust!
