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.

Today’s knitting project is a football inspired hat for a little boy. With a family of girls, I don’t often get to knit for boys, but I have had my eye on this pattern for a while. With a small amount of yarn, this hat knitted up super quick. Continue reading “Football Hat”

This classic beanie style hat would also work in a variety of different color options. It is worked in the round from the brim up.
