My baby hat, its a mess I know..but I know what I did wrong and will follow instructions to the dot next time...
I got the pattern from this website: www.kerriesplace.co.uk/newbornhats.html
But i didn't follow the last instructions very well cuz I was nowhere near a computer and I wanted to finish it pronto so I kind of did my own little thing in the end...

- Scarf for the Red Scarf Project
- Baby Hat for Grace's new born baby, i'm so glad it only took me 2 days to knit one, but I know i can knit it in one day, so i'll have plenty of time before the baby is born!! :D
