Wool Hat for Baby

I love hats. Almost all kinds of hats, and I've always wanted to make them. 

Actually, I've made a couple - some following a pattern, but some not. 

And truth be told, I find them quite challenging. 

Such a small little item, but there's quite a lot of precision involved. 

Here is my attempt at the winter Hat, and template can be found here from Martha Stewart Crafts.

I admit I didn't print it out and follow it exactly, I eye-balled it and this is what we have. 

The outer  fabric is a wool it's very soft but also frays quite badly so I had to leave enough seam allowance since over locking it didn't stop it from fraying. The inside fabric is just a red stretchy left over I had. 

It's spring time already but suddenly today is about 12 degrees again, so these little items do come in handy. 

And best part is they don't take up too much closet space. I also like how you can just roll them up and stick it in your bag, pull it out in case the wind starts to blow & keep your little baby warm!

Hope you're having a lovely weekend.
