Hats for Small Heads
So, I took that Spunky handspun and made some baby hats. One for our baby and one for Jon and Kelly's baby (Nate's best friend, they're expecting a girl 2 weeks after us!). 
Baby hats are so quick to knit, and cute too. I started a little baby dress too. More handspun, of course! All those single skeins of handspun in pretty colors, they have found their destination.

You're going to have to rename your blog "Cute Overload" if you keep going at this rate. ;)
Yup, 14sts. over 4 dpns makes the easiest baby hats!
Very cute! I love those colors.
Awww. How sweet! And thanks for the hat recipe. It'll be handy for a few Hats for Alex. =)
Very cute and useful items. I am big on useful, colorful and attractive items even for the youngest of babies. It treats them with respect they're due. You will never catch me knitting devil tailed pantaloons or 'baby's first tattoo'.
So cute!
Those hats are really sweet. Love the colors.
Congrats on the baby!
Very, very cute, and lovely colours!
