A colleague of mine is having a little baby! Hooray! I couldn't resist the urge to make baby a little hat a week ago. I hope it will fit: I made size XS, but it's supposed to be for 6-12 months and baby is not here yet. That said, XS was too big for some of TButton's friends at that age, and much too small for TButton. So hopefully it will be sunny at some point when it fits the new baby. The pattern is from Oliver & S here.
I was super-excited to find almost a full fat-quarter of fox print fabric in my stash, and then fortuitously a pale blue dot fabric which is completely non-related but matches so well! Plus, the hat is reversible.
I tried a different construction method this time, top-stitching the brim before attaching it to the hat. I then used a cunning technique to attach both sides of the cap to the brim without any hand-stitching. Honestly, who has time to hand-stitch?
The whole hat only took a few hours.
UPDATE: Baby is here! It's a girl! Happy birthday little one, and congratulations Mummy and Daddy!
