I've really been having fun with these little striped beanies. To be honest, I hate weaving so many ends on a tiny little hat, but the finished product is so worth it! I have so many color combos I want to try. Also, if you could see my yarn stash, you'd see why I need to make about 35 of them this week. My husband probably wants me to make about 350 of them.
I'm going to look into donating some to our semi-local children's hospital. When the girls were born, I just got single color beanies, but I'm sure there's no reason why I can't donate this style. I don't know if flowers are allowed. I'm definitely going to have to add checking into that to my to do list. I certainly love these huge flowers!
I've also been having fun being behind my camera again. I really enjoy trying to get great photos of my hats. I've been putting my vinyl product backdrops to good use. If you're looking for a great way to have consistent photos, I suggest snagging a couple on Etsy. I purchased mine from Swanky Prints. Mine are just 12" squares, but they work great for most hats.
This hat is adorable! Has the pattern been released yet? Also, I know you are using up your yarn stash, but do you happen to know what brand(s) of yarn are used in this hat? I love the color combo and think a baby blanket in these colors would work for my niece's baby shower coming up next month. Thanks for your help and for the inspiration!
Andrea, I know you can get all of these great colors in lion Brand Vanna's Choice yarn. It is a nice soft yarn that is so versatile. One of my go to yarns.
The stripes and soft colors are beautiful. I found you on Bloom Designs link party. If you are interested, I'd love if you joined the Show & Tell party at Gingerly Made. http://www.gingerlymade.com/2014/01/show-tell-60.html
Very cute! Speaking about weaving in - I'd love to see a tutorial on that sometime - or even just some tips - I've just been weaving in on a blanket and finding that after a I wash it, the ends are showing again...
Thanks for the idea! I also have quite a few odds and ends balls of yarn sitting around. This will be perfect to use some of that up! And I know my hubs will be happy about it too! :)

DeleteVery pretty! I like the different colors. Baby hats don't have to be solid colors only.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! Good idea too for scrap yarn!
ReplyDeleteVisiting from Bloom Designs. Lovely project and the photos are great!
