upon request i have been trying to figure out the pattern to this hat (the cream one). here’s bron modeling my first try.
the hat was intended for a baby, obviously my sizing was off. i should have used different sized needles since i knit so loose. now i just need to work on the size, find a good gauge, and knit it up again. i’ll post the pattern in free patterns when i get it done.
i popped over to pink chalk studio today and saw this. i just couldn’t resist giving it a try. i used the tutorial she linked to and her dimensions for a nine year old.
i love how simple it was to make, and the size was just perfect for my almost nine year old. i used scraps of fabric from the skirt i made a month ago or so.
thisbe was present while i was making it and is now asking me to teach her how to make some for her stuffed animals.
i finished up my robot quilt today. i just love how he turned out.
the quilting made such a hugh difference and burying all those strings was not painful at all. it did take a couple of hours but i could do it while watching tv. thanks again kathy for the tip. if i ever make a robot like this again i will probably do a bit more quilting on the robot itself. but i do love him as he is.
here is close up of the head and some of the quilting.
here is the back. i love how you can see the robot in the quilting.
