Put a Bow On It!

I first want to give a huge shout out and thank you to Julie over at That's Sew Julie!  I have been following her blog for a little while now and I was loving the newborn and preemie crochet hats she has been making.  I really wanted to make a few of my own to give away as gifts or donate to our local hospital.  Its been a while since I've picked up my crochet hooks, so I asked Julie if she could send me the pattern she used to create the beautiful little baby hats.  And wouldn't you know it - Julie was such a sweet heart and posted a whole blog tutorial on how to make these hats in both sizes and in the four different styles that she has created!  Oh than you Julie!! 

So last Friday, while I was in JoAnn's for a few minutes (waiting for the novocaine to wear off from the dentist), I picked up 5 skeins of yarn at 30% off!  Finally last night I had a few minutes - well ok, actually I was just too hot and tired to do dishes or fold laundry - so I parked myself in front of a fan and went to work.  About 45 minutes and a Master Chef episode later, I had made this little beauty!  Isn't it adorable?

 I had forgotten just how tiny a newborn's head is especially since my Little Bear isn't so little any more!  For size reference, I could put this over my closed fist and it doesn't quite cover my entire hand.  

So again - Thank You Julie!  This was the perfect simple crochet project I've been looking for so I could take a little break from my sewing machine.  But don't worry - more, well actually a LOT of sewing is in my very near future!
