Little knit for a happy toddler.

The other night I was tidying my bag with yarn and I came across one skein of Rowan cotton that I bought without a reason (yes, I do sometimes buy yarn without a reason...) and decided to knit a simple beanie for G. I chose Cecily Beanie (Ravelry link) pattern which is one of my favourite patterns for simple hats. It took me only few hours to knit this hat and I think it's just perfect for the cooler days here. And little G. seems to be happy with it.

When the beanie was ready, I decided to sew on few shell buttons- quite a pretty detail, I think.

I wanted to take proper photos of G. wearing the beanie but there was little cooperation from my little model. That's why the pictures are a bit blurry.


Project info:
Pattern: Cecily Beanie
Yarn: Rowan Handknit Cotton
Needles: US3/ 3.25mm
