The new fall line

Little Luke needed hats that fit, so I tried my hand at preemie patterns. However, once I finished the two hats and finally got over to Esther's house, the hats didn't fit! So, I tried again.

The hats are made with Caron Simply Soft, and are a basic cap pattern. Only without the silly ribbon. Luke is too manly for that.

On one of the hats I did a front post ribbing pattern, to give it a little substance.

And hats are so quick to make! One hour of TV watching equals one hat for someone. (Half an hour for someone Luke's size.)

I knew that Fuller would need something to keep his precious head warm this winter, so I set out to find a pattern to make for him. I found a basic helmet pattern, and dipped into my stash of Nana yarn. (Yarn that I got after she passed away. She's the one who taught me to crochet.)

I found 50g of offwhite chunky cotton blend and it took almost the entire ball for the hat. The green edging is from another skein that I had in my yarn stash, some basic worsted weight acrylic. I used a K hook for most of the hat, but the last two rows and all the green were done with a J hook.

He looks really cute in the hat, and for the most part, he will leave it on his head. For about five seconds.
