I swapped knitting books for a week with my knitting 'classmate', Tiffany. She's got my Adorable Knits for Tots while I have her Itty Bitty Hats... OMG! I am now obsessed with her book... and making lots of adorable baby hats!
The patterns in the hat book call for just DK yarns... but I needed LOTS of colors. So instead of spending so much on Rowan and Manos del Uruguay yarns, I went to Hobby Lobby and bought Caron Soft yarns in different colors.
The first pattern that caught my eye was the Rainbow Marley. I wasn't really crazy over the I-cord toppings but I know I can make just a plain striped hat and still make it look adorable! Unfortunately though, I've ended up mixing the stitches with my first hat coz I knitted while having a Grey's Anatomy marathon with my husband... but again, the colors looked soooo adorable and the hat nevertheless turned out cute and girlie.
My favorite color is turquoise so of course, the second hat I made, which I'm planning to make for a boy, still has turquoise on it. Check out this picture on the left.
The third hat, which I just finished knitting a few minutes ago, is my favorite. It's a birthday hat! The pattern actually calls for white as the main color and for the frosting to either be baby blue or baby pink. But I like chocolate cakes in white icing. So this is how it turned out. I used violet for the candle so that either a girl or a boy can wear it. Cute eh? Makes me crave for some chocolate cake...I am going to make an upside down daisy this afternoon --- another adorable pattern in the book. So watch out for my next post!
