The Dainty Daisy

The Shell Stitch Beanie  by The Dainty Daisy is by far my favorite hat to make. It's so simple but looks like it took a lot of talent. I get comments on the one I made for Elliot all the time. My photographer LOVES this hat and begged me for more.
I took the flower from Neanners Shop. Unfortunately since she had issues with people stealing her photos and using them as her own she has deleted her free patterns.

Daddy's Princess

I wont take credit for this pattern. I found this hat pattern on Ravelry, but decided I only wanted the crown part so I chained the appropriated # of chains and followed the the part of the pattern.

Ellie Fett and Chewbaccie

My hubby is a HUGE star wars fan so while awaiting for the arrival of our child I designed a Boba Fett Toque. Once our Elliot was born I made a bow added for "girlify" it. I havent written down the pattern for this (or the R2D2 one I made for hubby) but one day I'll look over the hat and write it down. It was a little big when she was first born but fits her GREAT now at 6 weeks.

Hubby picked up this 2' Chewbacca up at a Star Wars Exhibit in Seattle last April. Our Nephew nicknamed him Chewbaccie.

Little Lion

Our baby girl Elliot was born October 8th this year so I fashioned up a little Halloween hat while she was in the womb. It fit perfectly all month long.
This is the first pattern I've written down so I hope it's easy to read.
