LAZY RIVER

Well, isn't this colorful?  Just right for the weather (crisp and sunny) and heavy enough to keep the head warm on a lovely Autumn day.

GRAPE SODA

I like making these striped hats.  They take a bit of planning and a little extra work, but I think they look very nice when they are completed.  This one is extra thick to keep out the cold winter winds.

ON THE GO

Soft and warm and very comfy.  That pretty much describes this purple people pleaser.  Let's go.

LEANING TOWER OF STRIPES

Pink and black stripes neatly in rows plus some tweedy mix thrown in for good measure.  Nice.

PLEASANTLY PURPLE

I like the looks of this predominately purple colored hat with the lilac colored brim trim.  It is knit with double yarns and is so soft to the touch.  I bet someone's ears will like that this winter.

FIRE AND EMBERS

 
This hat has a super thick band and it will definitely keep somebody's ears warm this winter.  The color combination reminds me of the 1950's when pink and black, worn together, was very popular.  Winter is coming and along with that--cold weather.  Head protection.  Check!  Great colors.  Check!! Check!!

THE OTHER EIGHT

Here are the rest of the hats that I knit during the purple hats for babies campaign. They are all warm and snuggly for the winter months and very soft to the touch.  I hope some little babies enjoy wearing these hats and I hope the color of the hats calls attention to the period of "purple crying" and our need for understanding as this to shall pass.

eight purple hats

I made eight little purple baby hats. Why?  I wanted to support a knitting project that I became aware of recently.  The project involved knitting purple colored hats to be given to newborn babies during the months of November and December.  The purple color is associated with the period of "purple crying" in babies and serves as a reminder for all of us that this period of crying will pass.  Hugs and babies go together.  Show the love!!
