I'm Expecting...Something Adorable :)

Who would have thought that these...


Could make this...


It's amazing isn't it? And what's even more amazing is that I did it!


It's my very first baby hat, and I want to continue to practice so if any of you baby mama's and daddy's want a hat, just let me know :)

Oh, and any of you fellow knitters here is the pattern for this adorable baby hat:

CO 90 sts
Work in 2 x 2 rib as follows for 4 inches:
Row 1: *K2, P2*, ending K2
Row 2: *P2, K2,* ending P2

Begin Broken Rib pattern:
Row 1: K1, P1
Row 2: K
Row 3: Rep Row 1
Row 4: *K8, k2tog* rep to end of row [80 sts]
Row 5: Rep Row 1 (this will break up the pattern where dec's were made, but that is OK)
Row 6: *K7, k2tog* rep to end of row
Rows 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 and 17: Rep Row 5
Row 8: *K6, k2tog* rep to end of row
Row 10: *K5, k2tog* rep to end of row
Row 12: *K4, k2tog* rep to end of row
Row 14: *K3, k2tog* rep to end of row
Row 16: *K2, k2tog* rep to end of row
Row 18: *K1, k2tog* rep to end of row

Rep Row 18 until 4 sts remain.
Knit 3.5 inches of I-cord over the 4 sts left.

If not making I-cord, then finish decreasing the 4 sts down to one and BO. You could also crochet a little tail of decoration at the top if you wish.

Sew side seam with tapestry needle.

It's for 6 month to one year old babies, and can I just say that I am beyond mind blown that I made that by myself...well with a lot of moral support from my wonderful husband, and some help from my friend Brianna who helped me find the pattern for the flower and talks to me about knitting at work, haha.
