Two former co-workers and friends of mine also had babies around the same time as little E, and so I wanted to make a little something for them that was all kinda matchy (lame but cute right?)
I had wanted to make E, a Snow Pixie Hat from Sew Liberated, so I decided to make three!
The other two babes are girls, so I picked girly colours for the binding, and a boyish green for E's.
They looks ridiculously cute on, but fit a bit small (E has outgrown his already despite the small size going up to 6 months, but then again he has inherited his Dad's giant head!)
They are pretty quick to whip up, I used organic bamboo fleece inside and a grey knit on the outside with different colour ribbing for the binding/ties.
I know winters nearly over, so hopefully they get some wear out of them yet!
Wow, it's like you were reading my mind! I was totally thinking of making the Pilot Cap for Maggie. Did you find sewing it to be challenging? I was a little intimidated by the Pilot Cap instructions ... These are so cute, btw!! :)
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to make a Pilot Cap too! I haven't read those instructions, but this was not bad, the pictures made it pretty clear :)
