Late last year I made a couple of things for a friend from school, as she had a baby boy. I should have posted about it before now, but never mind. My friend took some pictures of her little boy wearing the hat and the booties (post to follow later), so I now have even more of a reason to post about both of them.
It’s the DROPS pattern that I also knitted for Luke last year, you can see my blog post about it here.
I used some leftover yarn that I had in my stash, and as at the time of knitting I didn’t yet know whether it was going to be a boy or girl I picked this neutral colour.
It was really easy and quick to knit and I’m really pleased with the finished item. And the ‘pixieness’ of the hat is just adorable.
And now, would you just look at this adorable little boy in the hat…he’s just too precious for words. I also love that rug, it’s so cool!
i love the colors – that teal edging is just *perfect*!!
and oh what a sweet adorable baby!! isn’t it always the best when we get pictures of our handknits in action?!?
