The Ariya Series

Months ago I began knitting hats for our new granddaughter Ariya. She was born last May and is so precious, and so easy going, not to mention pretty as can be, but I digress.

Our daughter, Ariya's mommy, loves flowers so I wanted to do flower themed hats for the baby. I used Rowan's Wool Cotton 4 ply which is delightfully soft and well suited for baby items. Here are the three that hats that made the cut.
First is the intarsia Daisy Beret. It is knit flat and an easy color work project. Not an intarsia fan? Knit it all in one color or stripe it for a completely different look.

Hat number two is a flower topped beanie with picot edging. This is a fast, easy knit and the edging gives it a sweet feminine touch.

The third and final hat in the series is a ruffled garden cap with flowers blooming all around it. The flowers are made as you knit in the round. It is simple and darling.

I like having small projects like these on the needles. They are so portable. I knit practically the entire beanie on a long flight home just before the holidays.
What is harder to do... knit a hat for a darling little baby girl or get a good picture of her in it when it is finished? We took a zillion pictures of Ariya in these hats last weekend. She likes wearing them but keeping still for the camera is not her idea of fun. If she is awake, she is crawling and climbing stairs and pulling herself up or chasing after her big brother. She is happy to walk if you hold her hands. I am sure walking on her own is right around the corner. She smiles and laughs all the time and is so sweet, but again, I digress.
By the way, Happy New Year everybody!!
