An FO, No Really
Take Lion Brand's Nature's Choice Organic Cotton Yarn
And some double pointed needles. A lot of time in waiting rooms, a creative mind, some patience and a knitting friend sitting next to you at a shopping event where you are selling your soaps and you get this:
A very cute, natural, neutral, organic cotton baby hat for a Mom who doesn't know the gender of her baby yet like my cousin who is due in February.
US 9 double pointed needles
Cast on 54 stitches evenly on 3 needles (18 on each needle). Join being careful not to twist.
k3p3 for 1 inch. stockinette till hat is long enough for you (I did 5 inches) Begin decrease.
k4, ssk around. knit 1 round.
k3 ssk around, knit 1 round.
k2 ssk around, knit 1 round
ssk around till you have 3 stitches left.
I-cord till the cord is a length you like. Bind off.
You can increase/decrease cast on as long as you can do a k3p3 rib.
Can you tell I designed this to practice my slip, slip, knits? ;-)

Yum Organic Cotton. Ironic -- I'm knitting myself a hat with organic cotton. I've never tried the Lions Brand, I'm knitting with Blue Sky Alpaca.
That came out fantastic. Good job!
What a cute hat! At least you're able to make your waiting room time productive.
just adorable!
Yet another friend is expecting, and has requested green and/or yellow items. I have some great, green LB Organic, and I think it wants to be a hat...
Thanks too for posting the coffee swap topic. I don't know that I would have seen that on my own this week!
That turned out precious! I wish they would sell the LB Organic Cotton here.
BTW, I ended up catching the hubby's bug after all. Grr...
Fab! Love baby things of any description and your hat is darling. And organic, I mean how perfect is that anyway???
WILD APPLAUSE FOR THE FO!
You are so talented.
