Avila's Garden Party Hat

Are you ever really too young to be a "fashionista"?
             Is there an age limit on lookin' chic?
                    Is there a Vogue magazine for babies?  

Have you ever tried to do a photo shoot

 with a nosy cat around?

(His name is "Yeller Feller")

(I did NOT name him -- the Gardener did!)

Anyway -- back to the story~

I knitted this little Garden Party hat

 for our grand daughter

Avila.

Cute, Huh?

(Just wait till you see her wearing it!)

Pattern details~

Debbie Bliss - Simply Baby Pattern book

Pompon Beret

~~

Yarns

Hobby Lobby Riot eyelash for the pink

 (the green band is something from my stash)

~~

the hat is accented with a cream colored ribbon flower

and tiny pink tulle rosettes

~~

Pattern adjustments -

I used a smaller needle to knit the green band

(the pattern called for a size 7 and I used a size 6 instead to that the band would fit tighter.)

Can you tell that our little Avila loves her new hat?

Just look at that smile!

She was about 5 months old in this photo--

the little hat will fit her for a while.

(When it gets too snug -- the green ribbon can be removed.)

Our little "fashionista"~

(Don't you want to just squeeze those precious cheeks?)

Back to the nosy kitty~

~the minute I started taking photos he jumped up

on the table.

He was totally fascinated by the little flowers.

He wanted to be in the pictures~

I'm still on a little blogging break -- (although you would not seem to know it since I keep posting - LOL!) I'm actually waiting for our silly daffodils to bloom so that I can take photos for the "Vera Grateful Giveaway" -- it might be a while yet, as it snowed and sleeted today - good grief!  Pray for sunshine!

xoxoxo,
