And they are so quick and easy to make that I couldn't stop at one.
With a bunch of family and friends having babies this year, I think these are the perfect little gift. I'm planning on making a few more to put in my gifts cupboard. The green one has been gifted, along with the felted box and bib o'love, to a very appreciative friend who also knits, but with baby #2 almost due and baby #1 still quite young, plus with work and you know, life, doesn't find much time to knit at the moment.Details:
Pattern: Little Cables Hat by Claudine from Knitting Box - the little cables add a bit of interest to the hat but are still very easy to do. It's her first written up pattern and it is great - very easy to follow, nice crown shaping - thanks Claudine for sharing!
Yarn: cream hat is Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino col 34005 - about 30-40g; green one is Rowan Cotton Glace col 812 Ivy. Both from stash (yay!) but not really stashbusters because they use so little yarn - unless I make about 20 of them!

Time: 2 days each - although if you had a whole day to yourself you could easily do one in a day.
What I learnt: You can never have too many little baby hats to give as gifts, or to charity - quick and easy!

And I know what you mean about Name of the Rose, I must confess I kinda bleep over those bits a bit.

Love them! They look so warm and snuggly. Wonder how hard it would be to make an adult size????
Oh, so sweet! Always a sucker for cables! I'll have to check out Claudine's blog and have a go at the pattern :)
Your hats look GREAT, Jane!! I'm very glad to hear that the pattern makes sense! :)
