I am French, et alors! {Crochet}

Thursday, 10 January 2013

I am making the most of the fact that Baby MiH does not have a choice regarding what he wears - here is his latest hat, the froggie hat - the transition before getting his French passport! To be honest I am not sure he really likes it, he knows deep down that this is going to be embarrassing one day... But right now, I think he is the cutest ever. 


This is another pattern from Posh Patterns (the designer behind the  little owl hat) - it is now much easier to work out his size (3-6 months). 

In comparison to the owl hat, this one does not cover the ears as much, and therefore does not end up on his eyes - probably a positive then. However the eyes stick out a bit, and therefore it is a bit harder to make him fit in the baby seat (although it is quite cute how the eyes stick out)! This is a very quick project - finished it within an evening (ie a 3-hour sleep slot). 



Pattern: Baby Froggy Hat by Posh Patterns (bought through ravelry)
Yarn: Lion brand Evergreen Cotton Yarn (in double) and a laceweight green yarn I had in my stash;
Organic cotton yarn (Rowan) in white and Lion brand cotton yarn in Black and Evergreen for the eyes  
Hook size: 5.5 mm hook for the body; 4.5 mm hook for the back and white of the eyes, 5.5 mm for the green (crochet like the body of the hat)



Just in case you think he is always asleep - he is not, took a long walk today to get him there today. 


I am not sure he is impressed.. Oh bless! I am going to love taking these pictures out when he comes back home with his first girlfriend.
