Benjamin loves the pom-pom. It's his "favorite."
Miriam likes to play dress-up, so she adores wearing hats because they make her feel pretty!
This is a great hat. It's so fun to knit, and apparently fun to wear! I would have knit enough hats for the whole family if I thought my husband would wear a hat. :-)
You can knit one too! The Striped Earflap Hat pattern fully explains how to do jogless stripes and how to add the crochet edging to the hat. A garter stitch edging is also included as an alternative option. Details for how to make the ties and pom-pom are also included. The pattern includes instructions for knitting sizes from newborn (14" head) all the way to large adult (24" head) using a DK weight yarn.
How adorable! I love that you are planning to knit them hats every year. You should keep them and take a photo of the progression when they turn 18.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alicia! That is an awesome idea. :-) I just hope the hats stand up to wash and wear so that they can be passed down to my grandkids!
