On Wednesday, my lovely asked if I could knit a gift for a baby. This baby is the offspring of one of his mates and will be turning 1. The party is on Saturday. I started a beanie pattern that I bought on Ravelry and it was a disaster. The lace pattern was all over the shop, the sizing was super weird. I didn't like it at all. It was also very dense knitting (4ply on 3mm needles). Was taking forever and the pattern was sub-par. I ripped it back on Thursday and planned to make a hat that I had previously made for my "niece". Checked the pattern. Only for newborn, 3 months, 6 months and 9 months old. This kid was turning 1. Darn! So I have been zen navigating my way though the CO numbers, increases above the band, and the length of the hat. As least it will hopefully be a bit too big. Or I hope this kid has lots of hair! The yarn is 4 Seasons, Merino, 4ply in a delicious off-white-vanilla-creme-latte colour. A lovely neutral. Not to mention, it came from my stash. Win! I am passed the halfway point but must finish it tonight for the party tomorrow. The colour in this picture is too washed out and grey. It's closer to the first picture. I just really like the simple texture of this hat with the decreasing spaces of knit and purl stitches as it grows. It is a knitted rectangle that gets sewn down the sides to create sort of ears. It's super cute. I love it.
