I found the most adorable baby hat pattern on Ravelry a few weeks back.
Ravelry.com. Yet another obsession I can blame on PodMate. An online community for those who knit and crochet that’s chocked full of all things yarn.
After reading the pattern a few times, I decided I could totally knock the socks off this pattern and went at it. I learned how to finally M1 without having to do a bar increase. I worked only on DPNs (I might have also cursed a lot). I tried my hand at another i-cord. It went well for the most part.
Well, there was those 30 minutes where I didn’t decrease correctly and I had to close my eyes as Martha took out a couple rows. But other than that, it went well. And it’s so dang cute.
Eat your heart out, people! It’s a little tulip hat. And it’s so tiny. Apparently that happens when you make things in newborn size. And there’s a new baby coming along in a few weeks and I’m hoping I can get it to the new momma in time. But I couldn’t wait any more. I had to share.

Wendi @ Bon Appetit Hon - If my head were the size of a grapefruit, I would totally want that hat.
Melanie - Allie totally needs one of these!!! :)
Dawn - That is the cutest hat ever. Yay for wee tiny baby things!
J. Smith - I’m just gonna throw out the information that E has a perfect little round head that fits a 6 month hat. Do with that information what you will. Maybe I can trade some ridiculously cute cookies for some knitting lessons?
Anamaris - Giiiiiirl, you’re rocking those needles! I think you’ve found your small business venture.
