My Pumpkin Patch

About a week ago, I decided I should make a hat for the baby. I haven't had time to make anything yet for him, so I thought a hat would be quick to crochet. I had hoped to crochet him a blanket but I hadn't found a pattern I liked (I actually found one the other day, so now I am hurrying to finish it before he decides to come). When I saw this hat I knew I had to make it. My sister gave me some beautiful orange yarn for my birthday that I knew would be perfect for the hat. But since the pattern was for a preemie, I made it a little larger. I made it too large (I forget how small a newborn head is). The hat, with a few minor alterations fit Anna. She loved it and James asked for one too. So I ended up making three hats.

So now I have a pumpkin patch.


The newborn hat is graciously modeled by Maggie-dollie.





James had a little too much fun with the markers. His hands, arms and feet are even more decorated.


I can't wait until Maggie-dollie no longer has to stand in as a model. Hopefully within a week, I'll have a picture of all three of my pumpkin heads.

So cute! I'm glad you were able to put that yarn to good use. I haven't knit in so long. I hope I remember how to do it. It's time to start making some winter hats for Zara.
