The “Love My Baby” Hat was designed to make matching hats for a mother’s new baby and a newly minted big sister’s “baby” doll. The name comes from one of our kids books, where the words talk of loving a baby and the pictures show children loving their “babies”.

“Love My Baby” is a quick knit and can be made with leftovers. It makes a cute gift for tired new mamas or doll-toting chiddlers.
