Baby Hat

If the Big Bow Hat is not your style, and you prefer a more subtle flair, check out this adorable baby bow hat.

I began with a free pattern I found online here. This cute hat used a little bit of contrasting yarn to create a huge wow factor.  The bow was super easy to make, but a little plain compared to the Big Bow Hat.

If I were to knit this again, I think I would merge the two hats together and create a small bow in the style of the large one.

Happy Knitting!

AHG Badge Help – Horsemanship #9

Every American Heritage Girl I have met seems drawn to the Horsemanship Merit Badge.

Many years ago, when my daughter earned this badge, the instructor used sticky notes to teach the parts of a horse.

Recently my Tenderheart unit attended a multi-troop event to a local horse farm.  However, the instructor missed a few requirements.  Thankfully we were able to finish them up at a meeting.

Since I did not have access to a live horse, I made do with a piece of poster board.

NOTE: The requirements have been simplified here. Please be sure to read the full text in the Girl Handbook to make sure you fully understand the requirements.

 

Big Bow Hat

Every little girl needs a bow in her hair. So on winter months when it’s cold outside, why not put the bow on her hat.

Today’s hat was designed by Casey.  The free pattern can be found on her blog here.

The best thing about the newborn hats I’ve been knitting lately is they use very little yarn. I have been able to use up my drawer full of little bits of yarn.

Happy Knitting
