I have a standing date on Saturday nights; an hours-long phone conversation with a friend. Last night's "quick little chat" gave me plenty of time to finish Lucy's hat.
The simple hat I'd learned in class begged for embellishment, I thought. I found a great tutorial at Little Birdie Secrets and was able to make a flower on my first try, though I hadn't yet learned a double crochet stitch (the tutorial has a video, so it's great for visual learners.) To top it off, I had the perfect vintage button.
Unfortunately, the hat would have fit her great a few months ago, but right now, it just barely fits. I used up absolutely all my yarn (and the red? that's the original scarf bit, re-incarnated). That's what you get when you use the left-over yarn you find around the house. Might be time to suck it up and actually buy a skein or two.

This hat is so adorable, and so is your little princess. (Love the color too)
That is so cute! I hate when I work so hard on something that comes out perfectly, but too small for who it was intended. She looks beautiful in it now though.
Oh that is so so sweet. I love the colors that you chose, and what a gorgeous little one to wearing that treasure
Adorable!
Hopefully she'll be able to squeeze into it for the next few months :-)
