Something small and pink



I have a wonderful friend that I've known for 25+ years...hard to believe, time goes so fast. I've known her daughter since she was a year old and now this girl is married and having a little one of her own. We know that the baby will be a girl so ...get out the pink yarn...
I found this darling pattern in my stash filed under "I'm going to make it someday" and ordered an organic worsted weight cotton from knitpicks to make it. It is knit from the top down with a cute YO, k2tog lace pattern interspersed with stockinette. It worked up in a weekend! The little hat is a basic rolled brim hat and I worked the pattern on the crown, voila, a matching set! This gets packed soon and sent off as the baby is due this month!
