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!!

MMMMM

mmmmm...how delicious!  The berries and the hat are just right.  The pastel knit hat is thick enough to keep the head warm all Winter and into the Spring.  O.K., now let's eat!

TIPSY

This is a very snuggly warm hat.  I used a solid blue yarn and mixed it with a colorful variegated yarn.  It is double knit at the brim so the ears will stay nice and toasty warm.  Cute, too.

RAINBOW SHERBET

The pastel stripe cuff on this hat has the same the colors and flavors of rainbow sherbet.  This knit hat is sure to keep a little head snuggly warm against a chilly breeze.  Looks delicious, too.

PINKEE

One more picture of a hat caught in a traffic jam.  haha   so funny   The roller brim style hat is knit from some very soft baby pink yarn.  It is snuggly warm and ready to go for the not-to-distant cooler weather.  Just takin' a break until then.

STRETCHED OUT

Ouch!  This is what a knit hat looks like when it is stretched on to a side mirror in order to take a picture of the hat and also include the long line of cars behind it going to a solar eclipse event yesterday.  Nice hat.  Very soft.  Warm.  Black.  Just like the moon covering the sun.  Really black.

TOTAL ECLIPSE

Today is the day--the great American eclipse and I am fortunate to be standing in the path of totality in northeastern Kansas.  This hat is a mix of pale yellow and light blue yarns--the colors of the sky.
