| I know, scary looking model, right? Sorry! But the hat is cute! |
It's been an exceptionally warm winter, and spring has definitely made an appearance (once or twice) around here. Today is supposed to be 68 degrees! Anyway, I've been trying to develop a pattern for baby cocoons on my knitting machine, but so far, I've made them too small. So they have become
springtime hats! Nice light weight little beanies that you can wear when its cool, but not too cold.

| Rolled Edge Beanie |
Both these little caps are made with sock yarn, (washable wool. bamboo, and polyamide), combination of
Sensations Bamboo & Ewe,

Drops Fabel. http://www.nordicmart.com/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=58&cat=DROPS+Fabel
The red one is knit in the round on my Brother machine, using the ribber attachment. (Still learning how to use it!) The purple one was made flat and then sewed along the edge. They are both really comfortable and fun to wear. They are the type of hat you can wear
all the time!

| Rolled Edge Flower |
I added a different top to each hat, based on the basic design of the hat. The purple one just has a rolled edge, in keeping with the hem of the hat, that is gathered and sewed in place. It has a bit of a flower look to it.

| I-cord topper |
The red one started as a rectangular sack, so I folded the two square edges into the center and sewed them together, then made an I-cord that I looped around and attached to the center. I think both are pretty cute.
Both hats are available at my
Etsy store.
