I used patterns already to hand just to get the stitch counts for an adult, 5 year old, and 1 year old, and based this on Stephanie Japel's hats in this photo:
So I just knitted plain for a series of inches, then worked the crown.
I added a kidsilk haze flower brooch onto the adult hat (which you can see in my photo above) - pattern from a Rowan workshop I did a while ago).
I finally photographed (although not particularly well!) Linda's finished Spring Cloud and stole:
I have added a pretty key-style scarf pin, which you can just about see. These two projects were recreated from their first incarnation as this:
I also have a cloche hat to add to Linda's haul, as she has been waiting for Spring Cloud for some time! I must say I am enjoying this run of knitting for other people, although I am careful to choose people who will appreciate the time and effort. My list of requests keeps growing. And last weekend I got a little gift in return - two skeins of German sock yarn infused with aloe vera and jojoba oil, in a soft light khaki shade, given to me by a hat recipient recently.
Today's knit, as it is of course a weekend - Juliet, from Zephyr Knits.
