finished object :: cherub cheeks baby beanies

Two colleagues welcomed new babies into the family this month. On the same day, even. Birthday twinsies! So to celebrate, I whipped up a few baby beanies for them.

Patterns: Cherub Cheeks Beanie & Crocheted Butterfly
Yarn: Martha Stewart Crafts ‘Extra Soft Wool Blend’ in Gerbera Daisy (503) and Lilac (544); 1 skein each
Hook: 5mm (hat) and 3.5mm (butterflies)

This is a really simple and adorable hat pattern. It comes in sizes 3m, 9m, 12m, and 2T/3T. You could probably use DK and a smaller hook to get a preemie size if you wanted. Though let’s be honest: baby heads are huge and they’ll grow into a big hat pretty quickly.

Welcome to the world, Ruby and Julia! I hope you’re ready for lots of knit and crochet stuff from me!
