My next hats were so fun to make!
Two of my friends had darling baby girls within a couple months of each other, and so I had to send them little gifts for their new blessings. (I have since been dubbed "Auntie Michelle" - a title I quite enjoy - LOL.)
Since I don't have a baby of my own any more - a doll has to suffice for a model. ;-)
And possibly my favorite hat ever ( which is why it's my header...)
I can't think of a better reason to crochet, than to welcome a new little one into the world with something soft and warm.
