We managed to get some still shots of Madrigal wearing her new Aviatrix hat before we took off on a walk yesterday afternoon. Sleeping baby = perfect photo opportunity!
I knit it a little big for her, since she’s growing so fast I figured it might last a bit longer that way. I just adore the way it looks on her!
Those ridges! The earflaps! Goodness, I love this pattern. I’m so going to knit Maddy more of them as she grows.

Hardly an original thought, but that is the most beautiful child. The hat’s pretty cute, too.
Aww, thank you! I can’t believe how beautiful she is, though of course I’m a bit biased :)

Beautiful child, beautiful hat, beautiful picture. I found the pattern and I think I need to make some, too!
It is a fantastic pattern! So easy to knit, and the result is really adorable!

Ahh is there anything cuter in the world?! Love the shawl in the background, too. :)
Aw, thank you! We’re all about the handknits (and apparently, specifically *green* handknits) in this family! :)

Awww! Yay for you!
Can you tell me which tubular cast on you used- the stocking knit one (where you use waste yarn at first) or the long-tail method?
