Needlework
I’ve been crocheting hats like crazy the last couple of weeks. So far, I’ve made two adult hats and 10 baby hats. There’s been a lot of concern about how many babies I’m having. Don’t worry, I’m having just one and only two of those hats are for my baby. The remaining 8 are for babies I know. And I still have a few more on a list to crochet.
The selection for boy colors in baby yarn is quite limited. There are a lot of pastels – and even “boy” colors in pastel still look quite girly. So I bought baby yarn in colors I liked, and then a couple I thought I could deal with for boys. (Turns out one is camo – I was hoping the dye would be in longer segments so it’d be more like shades of green…but it’s most definitely camo.)
I don’t know if any of the hats I made for friends’ babies will fit any of the babies, but I’m hoping they’re close. The parents can always re-gift or save it for a future baby if it’s too small, I guess! Albie helped out by modeling the hats – it sort of gives one a sense of size, too. Though I don’t have much sense of scale when it comes to babies who are 3 months old and babies who are almost a year old…
See the whole set here.
Great work, Holli! What a thoughtful, useful gift!
(I agree- camo.)
Super cute! I love the embellishments!
albie is a good model. i like how s/he crosses his/her paws. sorry, i’m not sure if albie is a boy or a girl. either way, it’s impressive.
Ahhh….that’s precious….love the caps…. I see a future in modeling for Albie too 🙂
Sorry you never “hear” from me through comments- I’m “comment shy.”
Sure, he looks cute, but how do they stack up on a biped?
