I knit a baby hat for a friend’s newborn. I used the school colors since our kids are in high school band together. It is a small version of the hat I teach in one of my classes. I really like knitting baby items. I didn’t knit when my kids were babies; so I don’t really have any keepsakes I knit for them from their baby years.

Who-Dey!

Bengal Hat
Bengal Hat on Reluctant Model

I knit up a quick hat from some great orange and black yarn I got at Silk Road Textiles. ( It’s a great new yarn and fabric store in town, and I will be teaching there beginning September 22)’.  The yarn is Plymouth Encore and it’s a simple 2 x 2 ribbed hat that knit up really quickly.  The hat is for Zach, my 4 year old nephew who currently lives in Broncos country, but wears his orange and black proudly.  The hat is reluctantly modeled by my 10 year old son who is larger than a 4 year old .  But the hat is very stretchy and will fit a large range of head sizes so it should fit Zach fine and he should be able to wear it for years to come.  Now I have to finish the hat for Quinn, his baby brother.
