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,
Vicki

Maddy Girl




We have a new baby in our family and her name is Maddy. Isn't she a doll baby? I am obsessed with knitting for her! She is modeling her Garden Party Hat that her Auntie Vicki made for her. (Even harder than knitting the hat - was getting Maddy to hold still for the pictures!)
