Golden Pear Baby Hat


Oh my, was I distracted over the weekend.  I was looking at my knitting and the current projects and suddenly I had an urge to knit a baby hat for my grand nephew.  I wanted to make him one over the summer and never did. The joy of impulse knitting is divine.

How sweet is this little pattern?  I knit this hat in a day if all the hours were strung together.
I made some modifications to make the hat a little bigger, I hope that it fits and fits for more than one season :)

Ravelry notes are here.

    This is really nice! My new grand baby is around 12 weeks old. I wonder if this would fit her.....I am still a fairly new knitter and not confident enough to add or subtract for size on my own but would love to try it. Your colors are beautiful for a little boy but maybe some pastels (?) for a girl?

      I think it might fit, but you could make it bigger by doing my mods and yes to pastels :)

    I like these fall colors and that pop of mustard in-between. I had tried out this pattern for a friend who was going through chemo but it didn't mesh with the colored yarn I had. I like the simple colorwork of this pattern though.

    Goodness, that hat is adorable! I like the fact that you chose "non baby" colors.

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh!

So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than...

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
