Wee Willie Winkie

And a great day this is.  I have just finished another little baby cap and this one is so cute.  It reminded me so much of one of my favorite rhymes  from my childhood.


"Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town,
Upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown,
Tapping at the window and crying through the lock,
Are all the children in their beds, it's past eight o'clock?" 
 I had been so stuck as to knit design and seeing all the the ways that I could work things.  Kinda like seeing the forest for the trees.  I am now currently working on putting this in pattern form for all those who love the joy of knitting.  I am sure there will be a pattern give away here on my little blog.  (translated that means to be sure and sign up and start following something big is about to happen) 

 In working with this simple little design with soft sage and natural colored organic cotton I noticed that it was a little plane.  So I created this sweet little star that I doubled and knitted twice to create a front and back.  It worked well in that regards but also added some a slight bit of weight to the top creating that sweet little drop of the point. 
 Now it has that splash of color that every Wee on needs. 
This cap was designed to use as a night time cap but it can be worn at any time of day. 
 Thanks for joining me again today.  
Hat is available for purchase now at my Etsy Store.

Squash Beanie Baby Hat

Well, these are my newest finished creation.  This is my design from start to finish.  I have created this little cap in an infant size using Cotten yarn with chenille toper.  I designed my own leaves and gave them a bit if a twist in the leaf using a cable stitch.  The chenille had just enough structure to bend and shape into little leaves.  I call this little creation a Baby Beanie Squash cap. 
As an after note I have just gotten this little beauty picked up on Tumblr  and it was featured in their craft section.
