You may
have read previously that I bought yarn way back in November with the intention
of knitting a new winter hat for my teenage daughter. We picked out the yarn together at the craft
store. We were drawn in by the very
inexpensive price and the cute color that perfectly matched her new winter
coat.
Well, I
got a little distracted with other projects and that hat was on the needles
for much too long. It's been one of the coldest winters in decades and the knitter's daughter has not had a hat to wear. (The knitter's son doesn't have a hat either...need to work on that for next winter!)
It’s now
February….hopefully close to the end of winter here in Kansas. Last Friday, I finally finished knitting the
hat.

| Maddy's Hat Knitting Pattern |
The best
part is she seems to like the hat! As
she put on her coat to go out the door to the bus stop this morning, I casually
commented that it was a little cold and maybe (gentle nudge) she could wear the
new hat. I was prepared for a “no” or "not today" but she
actually put on the hat and confidently headed off to school. That made my day!
Since
the forecast says another “polar Vortex” is headed our way, she’ll have a few
more days to wear the hat.
I’m
planning to write up the pattern for knitting this hat. I’ll let you know when it’s available!
Have a
great week.
