Last on knitting with Hillary we’d just seen her realize that the hat she felted with blood, sweat and tears (and tennis balls) wasn’t going to match the new Fall coat that is on its way. I had one skein of this beautiful deep purple Sulka yarn that was a total impulse buy (one of those yarns that you can’t not buy after touching) and did a little head measuring and tried again. I thought it would be cute to be all bobbled but I couldn’t figure out how to decrease and keep the pattern so instead it has 4 rows of bobbles and then purl stitch with decreases to a cute little acorn point. After I adjusted to thinking the hat was turned inside out because of the purl stitch out bit, and ignoring that it’s a little too small, I really like it. Phoebe of course just wants it off her head. Guess it’s time to start a project that can’t be so easily ripped off.
This is the sweetest little hat EVER.
Super cute!!! Are you on Ravelry? Are you going to publish the pattern? I really really like it… have a great day!
I absolutely LOVE the shape!! The bobbles along the bottom are great. Not so crazy about the purl stitches… as you said, it feels a little inside out. But dude I love it.
Oh my, that is truly precious!
That is some serious cuteness. I would totally make that for my daughter.
The hat is adorable…and you could just drink a cup of that color!
Cute cute cute cute cute!
aaw- she looks like an adorable little pixie!
Oh goodness me, what a beautiful picture!
Lovely hat!
Crazy IN LOVE with that little hat! Maybe a version with ear flaps and a little braided tie ending in pom poms would thwart tiny fingers seeking to remove?? I adore that pixie-in-the-forest-playing-beneath-her-toadstool look on her. Astonishing that she’s so big!!
Phoebe is so dang cute! So is that hat!
Aw, how adorable. And the hat’s not bad, either.
Seriously cute. Thank goodness for photos which recall the sweetness long after the hat has been ripped off and thrown aside.
The hat is so cute. It makes me want to get out some needles.
the bestest lil acorn I ever did see!
Ooooohhh! This is sooooooooooooo cute!
She is adorable!!!
that is one cute baby (and hat)!
i love making baby hats in this shape. that yarn looks really nice
Oh, that sweet (tolerant, bemused) face! The hat and the color are wonderful as well.
This is so sweet, love the colour.
THAT is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. Those eyes! That face!
Gorgeous!
What a beautiful pixie!
That last piccie should be framed and on your wall ;o)!!! Oh how adorable she is!!!
I’ve made hats like that shape too! It always looks so cute on little ones! Love the color! Phoebe’s a great model!
Gee
for someone who doubts her knitting skillz – ya coulda fooled me 🙂
nice job
I LOVE the acorn hat! I’m in the middle of knitting the “china doll” kimono sweater from minnowknits.com in a similar deep purple yarn for my 3-yr old hat-loving daughter and I will absolutely NEED to knit a similar acorn hat to accompany the sweater. Phoebe is lovely!
I’d wear that hat if it fit me and I’m 27 years old! I am lusting over the color too. I may try and buy a skein (even though I don’t knit) just to have the color as inspiration. Or maybe when I do learn to knit a scarf would be a perfect project.
Cute hat. Darling baby!
That hat is so sweet. Your daughter looks so cute! 🙂
That expression in the first photo is precious! She looks just like a Hershey Kiss!
this is just going to get lost in the sea of compliments, but i had to tell you how cute both the hat and your daughter are!
She’s so adorable! I love the hat.
Very sweet but sweeter with the bobble texture all over it…I am so crazy about that bobble-texture hat, that I already made 3 of them…
She is so sweet and that hat is perfect for her.
How lovely, the hat is cute and the baby is amazingly cute.
omigosh that’s just about the sweetest most precious thing i have EVER seen. and that color is absolutely yummy!
That is the most beautiful little face; bright, clear eyed and just beautiful.
The hat ain’t bad either.
She is SOOOO cute! I love that hat. I am in hat mode as well, but no one else at my house has gotten one yet. I think I may make one like this for my little boy (he’s about Phoebe’s age) minus the bobbles but adding ear flaps and a tie (he hates hats). His brother is asking for an easy ribbed orange hat. I am trying for a pompom top or tassel, but he isn’t going for it.
That’s a lovely hat! (I love the colour too).
Have you thought about balaclavas – I make them for my own children and it can help with the hat and scarf problem (that and mittens on strings!)
Oh it came out perfect!
Phoebe and the hat are adorable.Also saw your pointy kitty’s in the new Home Companion magazine.Good for you.
Too adorable! I would revisit knitting if I could make a little hat like that!
Oh my goodness she is the cutest thing ever!
she is just insanely cute!
🙂 and the hat rocks too-
This. Hat. Is. AWESOME.
Seriously.
oh my she is the cutest! great hat
gorgeous! such a nice colour too
Oh my gosh, that child is so adorable my heart is going to bolt right out of my chest. Her little face is captivating! MaryN
She’s adorable in her acorn cap! She could be the Acorn Fairy in a Cicely Mary Barker picture.

had to stop and say hi .. these hats are so sweet as is the your model… lovely x
Precious! Reminds me of my childhood fairytales, especially the ones of Tometebobarnen but all of Elsa Beskows characters really;

That adorable hat is perfect for your sweet girl! I love the baubles. And such a rich and gorgeous color for fall. Good luck at keeping it on her little noggin! x
i can’t believe you purled the hat – it is really lovely but i really dislike purling. i suppose it could be knit inside out. it reminds me of the meathead pattern with bobbles. the pics are to die for and of course the model is adorable.
So beautiful! Nicely done.
That is so cute that you should perhaps consider super glue-ing it onto her forehead.
the hat is so sweet! i would love to knit the same for my daughter…is the design your own, or could i find it in a book/online? thanks.
adorable hat and adorable munchkin!!
oooh this hat is so adorable, and your little one of course. It’s one of those photos that you will look back at forever. Such a lovely colour :o)
It’s all adorable (the hat and her smile). I love pointy hats!
Phoebe is such a beauty!!! That is definitely her “power color”. Gorgeous hat and girl!
The acorn hat is just stunningly adorable! I wish I had a little one at home to squeeze into it! Beautiful.
I´m in love!! The hat is amazing!! I want one! `^-^
