Cute As !



Baby Anna had grown out of her Gumnut Hat (see last photo) so I handed over Baby Byz earlier than I was going to.

Haven't had enough cuteness yet? Here's more ...

The hat is based on Byzantium, which you can find in my Ravelry  projects here.
The design is very versatile - any yarn, any gauge.
Here I've done 2 x 2 rib, sections of stocking stitch alternating with reverse stocking stitch x 4, three-needle bind off at the top (inside), and soft tassels. 
Yarn was Mondial Bizzarre.

  

 Here is another version of Baby Byz, modelled beautifully by a bucket! Heh.

This was in a finer yarn, for a newer baby , Cleckheaton something ... , 2 x 2 rib, only two reverse stocking stitch sections. It was a gift, but I don't have photos of the recipient. 


 

 And here is Anna with her Gumnut Baby Hat, made to match the Baby Wrap Cardi. Both items came with her for her visit to Australia from Spokane. I was honoured and flattered that they warranted inclusion in the luggage!
