so, has hat making season officially started for you? it did for me, but not the yarn and needles version of hats. i've always really really loved sewing with jersey (here are a few examples of things i've made:
cozy pants,
the 90-minute-shirt,
a jellyfish scarf), so jersey beanies were on my list!
after a recent trip to the fabric store i came back with sort-of-matching, color coordinated jersey for my little ones. the making of them was a bit of trial and error, as i had an idea on how to make these hats but didn't use a pattern or tutorial. i guess i still need to get better with the sizing. still, they turned out cute: his, a bit more baggy, skater style. hers: slim and snug.
they are lined, and thereby reversible, even though i definitely prefer the stripes on the outside with the stars peeking out. i still have a lot of jersey fabric left, so i guess there will be a whole array of hats to choose from soon, and one for me, too!
thank goodness it is still so warm that right after our quick photo taking for the blog the hats were tossed off and they played hat-less in their favourite corner of the garden.
