When I was in choir at LHS I remember singing the song Hats Are made for your head. dadadadadadadadadadadadada. You get the idea. Anyway. I like to knit hats, they are hands down my favorite thing to knit. Quick, easy, keep little heads and ears warm.

Yesterday I completed the blue hat I was knitting. Knit picks main line (we live in Tx, a cotton/wool blend will be just fine). It does not fit my youngest sons head. Thinking i’m in denial about the size of my boy. He is growing up. So the decision was very quickly made to give this one to my friends son, knit a pink one for his brand new baby sister (who is just so beautiful and i can not wait to meet her / hold her). And then knit the four for my children. I ordered plenty enough yarn to do six hats (6 skeins of blue, 3 skeins of the pink - actual color names are blueberry and antique rose).

The hat I did knit, by the way, fits my daughter just fine. It is a toddler size hat for sure. I c/o 69 stitches. For the baby hat I just c/o 56 and started knitting around. For the boys I think i’ll try 85, see who that fits best, and go from there up or down for the other two.  These are basic roll brim hats, no pattern necessary just a little recipe that is stuck in my head.
