Hats, Baby. Hats.

_DSC1468

Since we have had the baby, Suketu's crafting requests have been on the back-burner. The situation really got to him when Ms. Anya showed up in her brand new, very silly, very funky hat. Suketu would leave the house every morning saying--I have a cold head.

So here you go. Both babies with hats on. Suketu's hat is a slouchy version of the original pattern (details below). The personalized "S" is a special request--initially he wanted something like, Anya's Dad. Cool Dad. Suketu, the Dad. You can see we heavily negotiated. Happy Winter, Mr.

Anya's hat--I saw this yarn when I did not have Anya, and my thoughts were--what the hell?! Who would ever knit anything with that. Now that I have a kid, I totally get it. It has a little bit of something, for every kind of child in you.

This is so adorable. And, Anya has gotten so big. Such a beautiful pair. (Both daddy and child, and the hats as well) I love the colors.

Great hats! I have a similar variegated yarn in my stash that I made a blanket and a hat for my son with. I still have a ton of that yarn left and have no idea what to do with it.
Love that Turn A Square pattern for men. Made one for my dad and he actually requested another one!

Great hats! Since I am a relatively new knitter, I'm still afraid of dpns and hat patterns, but these are very cool!
