Baby Hats made with Sock yarn!

Hi Everyone,

Today, I am going to show you a little bit of fun that I discovered a while ago.  As you know from previous posts, part of our Charitable Knitting in our group at the Cathedral, is baby hats for the newborns at Kent County Hospital. 
I have accrued a lot of sock yarn, in my efforts to actually begin to learn to MAKE socks--haven't quite got there yet!!-- and it occured to me that it was the same weight as yarn that we use for hats.  So, I have started to make some hats out of the really cute self-patterning yarn that is ordinarily used for socks.


Tell me what you think:








So, have a great day! 
Barbara

  1. I love the colors in the sock yarn!!! They are stunning. I bet these hats made some very happy moms. What a gift!!! I had to go back to crocheting as knitting frustrated me too much. But each time I see your knitted work it makes me want to break out some needles. You have inspired me to crochet some hats tonight.
