| Charlie - newborn sized hat |
When I saw this pattern on Repeat Crafter Me, I immediately knew I wanted to make it. Why on Earth did I not crochet when my kids were babies? Time to find someone to gift it to, because I just HAD to make it. Even though K2's baby, Charlie, looks pretty cute in it, too. Lucky for me, my hairdresser just had a baby.
