One of my very best friends in the whole world is having babies. Yes, plural, as in twins. Clearly, knitting was in order. She said she loved photographs of babies wearing those big chunky hats. Easy enough: two newborn knit hats with pompoms, for two boys. All I needed was the perfect yarn.
Luckily, The Tinsmith’s Wife had many gorgeous options. I present to you Slubby Blue by Fleece Artist in the Pansy colorway. Isn’t she beautiful?
As easy as these hats were to knit, the task still seemed daunting. I really wanted them to look just right.
I’m generally pleased with how they turned out but still have doubts. They just seem so tiny. What if they’re not chunky enough? Maybe I should have made the pompoms bigger?
The time for fretting is over. By now, my friend will be opening the package. I hope the little ones like them.
They’re adorable!
Glad you liked them. I do love that colorway.
They are lovely!!
😊
Thank you!
They are just gorgeous. Dotey.
Thanks. Can’t wait to see them on the babies.
Your friend is going to love them. They are darling!!
I hope so. I can’t wait to see those babies!
They are just perfect, and the pompoms makes them even cuter. 🙂
I forget how little babies are. My baby is 17 and taller than me!
🙂 I know. My baby is now 25. We are the same size still. Lucky me.
So cute! They are perfect 🙂
Thanks!
They are really very sweet. Perfect baby gift.
Thanks. They were fun to make. 😄
Beautiful yarn and delightful little hats. all the best to your friend. I also had twins and they are such fun,if hard work. 🙂
I applaud you! One was enough of a handful for me! I plan to visit her soon and spoil those babies.
