Now that's just nuts!

Seriously, this is the cutest thing I have ever crocheted, and the quickest.  The pattern is from Lakeview Cottage Kids and free!

Making one wasn't good enough, so I had to make 6.  It's a good thing I know a lot people with babies (Insert sarcastic sounds here *snort* Hmmmph*) I'm the one that is nuts! That's for sure. I almost feel and sound like a crochet hoarder of sorts, hahah. but all is not lost. A friend of mine is having a craft sale, so I will give her the hats to sell.

 

I detoured from the original pattern a wee bit for the bottom half of the hat and went from single crochet to half doubles.  Less rows to do and a bit more stretch to the bottom of the beanie. Aesthetically they both look just as cute.

I'm not sure on the sizing, I think mine are a bit small, so premie and newborn sizes.

These were made with Red Heart With Love yarn in Tan and Aran, the leaves were done in Lettuce. The yarn is perfect for babies and not scratchy at all.  I think I used a 5.0 mm hook, but I can't entirely remember.

This is definitely in the keeper pile for patterns.
