My friends are going to wait to find out the sex of the baby until the birth. This means that I want to make a hat that is gender neutral, but I didn't want to go full on green and yellow since I'm sure they're going to get a lot of those colors. I opted for some blues, and just in case the baby is a girl I whipped up a quick crochet flower that could be sewn on if desired.
I could have gone with teal and grey, but those were the colors I used the LAST time I knit the chevron baby hat, and I wanted to have some variety in my project page. I also wanted to try out thicker stripes, so I'm going to change colors after every 4 rows versus every 2 as written in the pattern. I knit 6.5 entire big stripes before starting the decreases.
I chose a simple 5 petal flower for the embellishment. I left the loose ends on the back of the flower so it could be secured to the hat if necessary. I used a size E (3.5 mm) crochet hook for the flower.
I really like the flower against the chevron. I think I might embellish more of my designs in the future!
Really, I like that hat as it looks nice and perfect gift for a kid. Soon I am going to attend my best friend's kid's birthday and for that already ordered a dress from an online baby store as "MaMaLoNi". Just looking for a baby hat and after reading this post I got the idea for that. Thanks for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! This is one of my favorite patterns to knit for new babies. (Although I'm biased as it is my design.) My youngest, born in January 2016, wore a version of this hat in the hospital. :)
