And matching hat
Seems I did have time to fit in a matching hat for Anouk, mostly because damn, those baby accessories are fast knits. I've had this pattern bookmarked for awhile and cast on and off in one night. Actually the little flower took me as long as the hat as I went through a couple different ones from Knitting on the Edge but even the smallest seem too overwhelming for such a petite hat. I settled on my favorite (and ridiculously easy) flower to date, this one. Only I cast on just 31 sts, binding off 5 sts for each petal and only having 1 stitch on the needle between them.
Pattern: Lilly Hat by Larissa Brown of Stitch Marker
Yarn: Left over Pima Tencel from Anouk pattern
Needles: I kinda guessed here since no actual gauge is given and went with size 9's.
Flower: Flowers in Bloom from Spring '06 of For The Love of Yarn
