Your baby is adorable and your pattern is very helpful. I was looking for a baby hat pattern using chunky yarn and thanks to you my search has ended and I can get my hook on now. ;-) It's good to see a hat on an actual baby so I know it's going to fit. A lot of patterns have hats on dolls or just laying on a table and I don't want to go to the trouble of making something that won't fit a real live person. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteThank you! We think she's pretty cute too! It's been quite a while since I've posted anything...maybe I should get back to it!
