Creating a baby shower gift that impresses the modern mother isn’t as easy as it used to be. Purchased knitted baby blankets and sweaters are a dime a dozen. I wanted to make a quick knit that is functional, easy to wash, and versatile; something to dress up that onesy when your ever so stylish single best friend drops in for a surprise visit.

This pattern makes a great introduction to lacework, and will get compliments anywhere you go! This pattern includes instructions both in written and chart form.

Ray always admired Opie’s hat from Sons of Anarchy, but wanted it more fitted. Though I found many hats online, I found that I wasn’t fond of the cap shaping that didn’t seem to fit the look and layout of the body of the hat. I have utilized simple decreases to make the top of the hat more graceful.
