Since winter is upon us {sort of!}, I thought it was about time Norah had a new hat. It isn’t super cold, but sometimes it is crisp enough to need some added warmth {and I think babies in hats are just too cute!}. So, I pulled some gender neutral yarn from my stash {I haven’t bought any girly yarn yet} and knit a basic hat. Then, I added these cute crochet flowers my mom bought from Annie Design, and they were the perfect, girly touch!
Except for one small problem…Norah can’t seem to keep the hat on. She loves to take it off and try to put it back on again. I was able to capture one little photo with her wearing it, but, of course, could I get a good one in some great natural light? No way! This seems to be a recurring theme these days. I am truly glad the days are going to start getting longer again, for so many reasons.
Edit to add: I got a better shot the other day…so I thought I’d add it!
I haven’t knit in quite a while, but it is really fun to pick it up again, even if only for a season. I find a certain joy in making things by hand, but don’t slow down to do it often enough. I have another fun knitting project to share soon too {if I can get it finished}.
I hope you’re getting a chance to relax a little this Christmas season too!

Fabulous hat, Nora is just adorable! What pattern did you use?
Hi Pam! I have knit a lot of baby hats, so I just sort of wing it these ays. However, I usually choose patterns by Louisa Harding or Debbie Bliss! Hope that helps!
Adorable hat and cutie pie Nora!
