So for Christmas, my sister-in-law told me she wanted cute baby hats as a gift for her 6 mo old. Easy enough. So I asked if she wanted winter hats or summer hats. Summer (emphatically!!). And then I asked if she had any design requests to which she replied, flowers or something cute. “…or something cute” haha. I’ve always loved hibiscus flowers. They’re just so beautiful and I was inspired to turn one into a baby hat. It took a few tries, the petals in particular gave me some grief but I’m so happy with how it turned out!
