Something besides the HOUSE

 

My daughter's sister in Florida is having a baby boy very soon.  While this hat is for a larger infant it may come in handy just in time for a cooler month or two down south.   It is knit from the Elizabeth Zimmermann pattern.   My husband brought this styrofoam head back from New York.  It seems to be an adult small or smaller.  This infant hats blocks out nicely on it.  As for pic of our county courthouse...Ha....I can't get it to go away or type what I want to where I want to.  So just know that I wanted to share a bit of Indiana with you.

The Heart Hat

In her book, Knitting Workshop, Elizabeth Zimmermann shares a cute and quick heart hat. I passed it over time and time again as I looked through this book. The other day....it really struck me so I did a quick practice knit of the heart and I was 'off to the races'. It is such a cute hat when finished....I just don't have a small cranium handy for modeling. Of course the hat and heart can be the same color.

The directions call for longer I-cord tie, but I chose the 'fold it over and hook it to a button' method. :)

The pattern also says that the heart, when knitted as is, can be used as an elbow patch on a beloved's sweater. How cute.
If you are on Ravelry check out the EZ Heart Hat for different variations.

Until Next Time.
