Baby Boom

The local hospital has had a baby boom of sorts and put out the call for more hats for the newborns, so I have been knitting hats like crazy. I asked a friend if she could help, and she knit gave me some hats this week. Hers are the hats with pom poms. She did some duplicate stitch on three of them for Easter babies.

I am using size 6 (Addi Turbo 12" circular) needles and scrap baby (fingering) yarn. The pattern is from Lion Brand, and I am casting on 60 stitches. The hat is just the right size for a newborn. I will continue making the hats until the nursery has a sizable stash.
