Pixie Hat
I'm currently knitting a baby pixie hat for Terry's baby boy who is due on March 7th. I found the pattern in Debbie Bliss's baby book. This is the first hat I've done completely on dpns and I started over three times, I think. The ribbing is done on size 5 needles and then you switch to size 3 needles and work in stockinette stitch. Add pom-pom to finish. I am frantically working to get this done before she goes to to hospital. My knitting friends gave her a surprise baby shower, I got the call the night before and there was no way I would have it done in time, so I brought it to the shower and showed her what I was working on for the baby. Since he is going to be born in March, I opted to make the newborn size so he could wear it now. I hope to be able to post a pix of him wearing the hat.
The yarn I am using was bought at Sonoma Yarn (thanks Tillie). It is Merino 5 100% superwash Merino wool by Crystal Palace Yarns. The two colors are: 0014 Midnight Oasis and 5224 Wine. Here it is in progress.
