I have been busy working on the three sizes for my new sail boat baby hat. I made this pattern up for a hat for my great nephew, which you can read about on a previous post. The pattern comes with instructions for three sizes: Newborn, 3-6 Months, and 6-12 Months.

You can see all three hats together below,
after they were knitted. I then spent a little while considering
whether to add pompoms or not. I really love my instant pompom maker. On the
second size hat I knitted a cover for a button, which I also really like, and
for the largest hat a plait with a tassel (but not so long that the
baby could reach or get tangled with it).
I had my usual problem with the lack of a baby model. Secret - some of the photos above involve a grapefruit and a kitchen bowl. So here again is my lovely great nephew modelling the original version of the hat. And now to work out sizes for the babysuit, so you may not hear from me for a little while!
The pattern will be published shortly in all the usual places, ravelry LoveKnitting and Etsy, and my sample hats will be for sale in my Etsy shop.
This is such a sweet pattern and your great nephew looks adorable in the OG hat!
