Baby Lamb Hat*


2012 will be full of new babies for my family and friends. There are already 4 lucky ladies due so far. I always get ideas from my kids, so once I again I asked my youngest daughter what I should make for my next nephew. My husband's brother and sister-in-law are expecting him right before Easter. She first described an aviator style hat, but after no luck finding a decent pattern, I decided to save that idea for Christmas. I came across this super cute little lamb hat on Etsy and I just couldn’t resist replicating it. I am happy with my finished project and the pattern could not work up any quicker.
