fo: special day silk hat

Did you know that baby hats are the perfect one-skein stashbuster? I have been so obsessed with busting my stash by knitting baby hats that I actually forgot to post here in the month of April! I knit four hats, though, so at least there has been knitting happening at my house!

Here are the details:

Pattern: Special Day Silk Hat from Baby Beanies by Amanda Keeys

Yarn: Rowan Soft Baby in a beautiful butter yellow shade

Needles: 4.5 mm/ 16" circular - addi turbos

Modifications: None

Recipient: My mom purchased this from me this morning to give to a former neighbour's little baby.

Thoughts: Great and easy pattern but the ruffle is created by a k3tog pattern which was extremely difficult to knit. The result, however, is worth it in the end, wouldn't you say?

Happy May!
