Baby Brandon has had a number of ear infections and he has had ear surgery to put in tubes. He has also had skin problems. Sooooo I decided to spin a very smooth yarn out of soy silk, cotton and about 20% White Knight wool. White Knight has a very soft wool with a luster.

After the yarn was spun, I then decided on the pattern. I knew Brandon needed earflaps so this is what I came up with.

Nana's handspun, knitted hat for Mr. Brandon
Now the kicker to this story is: I went to Bethel to the Sheep and wool show and in one of the Vender's booth I found a hat knitted out of Alpaca. It feels very soft to me and the pattern is much like I first wanted. I also adored the little decorations on the hat. The color was just right. I threw out the $18 and brought it home with me. And now Brandon has two new hats! |
My next project as well. Baby and toddler hats. Have to keep the grandkids warm!
