Knit hats, for kids and adults

Last year I learned to knit from both of my mothers-in-law. I started with scarves and then moved on to hats, slowly becoming more confident and learning new stitches as I went along. I'm definitely still a beginner, but I really enjoy knitting and the satisfaction I feel after finishing a project. Even more, I love seeing someone wearing something I knitted especially for them. Emmett can be sort of a hat snob, so I decided to knit hats for some special little girls.

I made the same hat for Harper, McKenzie and Annie (McKenzie's new baby sister) and tried my most challenging pattern yet for Olivia.  I was so happy to see the girls in their hats!

When Christmas morning came around, I discovered these little goodies had been wrapped up for me from my mom.  So I picked a pattern (the one on the cover, top right corner) and got to stitchin'!  



I decided to make a hat for myself, since I obviously consider myself a celebrity.  I mean, I put on a beanie and some aviator lenses, and you can't tell the difference between me and Carrie Underwood.  See what I mean?
This is my "celebrity" face.  I know it's great.

I've worn my slouchy celebrity beanie out a few times now, but I still haven't been mistaken for Taylor Swift - go figure!

But I still love my hat.
