Keira was sceptical of the new hat I was knitting for her, but now that it's finished, she likes it and hasn't taken it off since. And it should keep this little football player's ears warm on the sidelines for the wintry mornings coming up.
I used this pattern, with a finer yarn and smaller needles to downsize it a bit to fit K. The yarn is Jo Sharp 'alpaca kid lustre' in a greyish-purple. We re-purposed a pompom from this project for the top of the hat: and now we have (many) more in waiting for future hats. Or, maybe we could make one of these!
We have some beautiful cosmos flowers in the garden – still being visited by bees each day. Please stay a little longer, summer plants and insects…
