More Hats

So I am about ready to abandoned hats for a while--I decided this a while back but then had several promises to fulfill before I really did.  I am working on a very simple scarf for the moment but still have two promised hats in mind before I get into a sweater or something.  

Anyway--they have been so much fun.  Here are a few new hats. 

Simple Cabled Trapper

A trapper for my friend who is an avid Iowa Hawkeye Fan.

This one is for my secret sis--ssshhhh!!

This one is for a little guy up in Duluth--I made a matching Norwegian cap for his baby brother to be born in June!!! 

Micah found this yarn all by himself while I was browsing the yarn aisle at Hobby Lobby and really wanted an army helmet--so here it is!

This is the first bonnet I made for a friends new baby but I wasn't very happy with the yarn choice so when Katie fell in love with it and it fit her baby doll perfectly I let her keep it and knit another one for my friend.

Here is the second bonnet in a heathered baby alpaca yarn--much better feel and sheen although once it was completed I liked the smaller border of the first one better. However, if I don't stop this Katie is going to have a whole wardrobe of baby doll bonnets and I will never move on!

My new favorite baby cap--I combined three patterns to come up with this one.  It is a Norwegian shape with an Inga braid border and sizing and stripes from my favorite helmet style hat.  This one went to a little guy who will be born this Spring in Duluth.

Second Norwegian Sweet Cap toddler sized for my little Riley and Ashlyn--they have been sharing a hat I knit for them earlier this year--I figured this one was appropriate as they are of Norwegian lineage.

Ribbed and Cabled Watch cap--I made this one for my Mother-in-Law but added tassels to give it a little more feminine flair--I considered earflaps but decided against it as she already has a earflap hat.
