One of my many weaknesses are pattern books. I found The seventh little Sublime hand knit book of baby knits at my local knitting shop this past summer. (The link gives you a preview of all the projects in each book complete with yardage requirements.) The pages are already creased and torn and several projects … Continue reading
This was a fun hat to make and it only took an afternoon to knit. Click here for the pattern.
