OK, so earlier in the week I mentioned I would need to put my current sock project aside to finish the newest batch of baby hats so I can get them to the Reading Hospital in time for the St. Patty’s Day babies. I’m happy to report that I did as I should and worked on the hats some more. I finished the third, and I’m more than halfway (maybe more like two-thirds) done with the fourth. And I will probably have enough yarn left to make a few more.
Here’s the third green-and-white hat. I switched to a different pattern (Shadow Stripes Hat, by Patti Pierce Stone) since I have far less green yarn than white. So the ribbing is in the green, and the crown is the white yarn. Cute, huh? This is a very easy pattern, and the tied i-cord at the top is just too adorable.
Immediately after finishing the third hat, I cast on for the fourth. But this time, I’m improvising my own pattern. It starts with a k2p2 ribbing in the green yarn, and switches to white for the crown in a 2-stitch cable ribbing pattern. I’ll probably upload a pattern for this one when it’s finished, although the instructions will be extremely basic.
And lastly, a follow-up on a previous FO, the Jaywalker Anklets: I’ve worn them once so far, to work (I would wear them more often, but at the moment I have a very limited amount of wardrobe that color-coordinates with them), on a Friday, with jeans. Here they are in context. These are soft, super-comfy and keep my feet nice and toasty, even though they aren’t full-length socks.
