Need a baby gift this afternoon? Let the Dashing Through the Snow Hat save the day! Super quick to knit and a great beginner’s project. Tricia first made this hat for a photographer to use on her own baby for their family holiday card (hence the wintry name!) but it works up equally well in many lighter-weight yarns and is cute no matter the season. Perfect as a newborn photography prop, too!

NEW REVIEW 3/16/11 from Living Crafts Magazine, Spring 2011: “Some of the designs in this book are so unique and so perfect for a new baby that they seem commissioned by Mother Nature herself…”

NEW REVIEW 3/14/11 from Publishers Weekly: …“Drake, founder of TrickyKnits, captures a festive mood in this collection of hand knit baby gifts. Beginning knitters will welcome the explicit directions and speedy results; experienced knitters will enjoy experimenting with chunky knits for tiny newborns…The results appear deliciously complex, yet the designs are relatively straightforward.”
