My friend Sarah and I decided to do a hat swap where we each would make a hat for eachothers' daughters! She sent this beautiful crocheted cap with an awesome fabric flower on it:
Isn't it awesome???? I love it!
In return, I sent her this hat:
Pattern: Cheery Scrap Cap
Yarn: Various worsted wool or wool blend yarns
Size: Toddler, but it seems fairly large, so maybe more of a 2T-ish size.
It went quicker than I expected, AND used up a lot of misc partial skeins of yarn! Highly recommend it. I might try a ribbing along the brim next time to keep it from rolling. For full disclosure, here is the inside of the hat:
I carried the yarn as much as I could, so it wasn't as bad as you think to weave in all the ends!
Here's hoping I can keep up all this posting... it's easy when I have so much knitting flying off the needles! That might not be sustainable because a certain daughter of mine seems to not like napping so much lately.... yikes!
