Hadley’s Hat

By on November 30, 2011 in Arden, Hadley, Knitting

While waiting for more yarn to arrive to finish the last three rows on the fair isle sweater I’m knitting for Arden, I finished up a cute little flower hat for Hadley.
It’s the same pattern to coordinate with the one I made in purple for Arden last fall.  It’s from Itty Bitty Hats by Susan B. Anderson.

This time I wasn’t a rusty knitter and didn’t knit into the backside for the entire project like I did for Arden’s.  I’m supposed to say it gives it character, but we know the truth…

Hadley’s is a little on the big side, but that gives it room to grow.  At the rate she’s growing, it’s a good thing!  Arden’s hat still fits her a year later, so I’ll get one more season of use.  Plus, the coat and snow pants I bought are still fitting – go slowing growth rate!

All the hats in the book are adorable and look super quick and easy – I should have tried a different one, but I couldn’t resist the matching sister hats.  I’ll have to get a picture of the two of them together in their upside-down daisy hats!

Hadley was getting hungry during the photo shoot so she was trying desperately to find her fingers.  I had just fed her, but obviously she didn’t think it was enough.

I have a weekly knit night on Thursday during which I should be able to finish the sweater for Arden – if my yarn comes in time.  If it doesn’t, I guess I’ll just have to start a new project.  Maybe something for me?!
