Size Swap Week

You may recognize this week's new pattern, formerly the Cluster Hat - Newborn.  This hat didn't fit the newborn I gave it to (sad!), so I adjusted the pattern and renamed the old pattern Cluster Hat - Premie.  The new pattern for this week can be found here.  Sorry for any inconvenience!!

Free Pattern: Cluster Hat - Premie


Newborn size here.
6-month size here.
9-12 month size here.

Hat should measure about 12" in circumference for a newborn.

No-Sew Rose Pattern Updated


I added a few more pictures to the No-Sew Rose, to clarify the pattern.  Hope it helps!  :)

Thick and Thin Striped Beanie Hat Sizes Adjusted


Upon reflection, I realized that the smaller Thick and Thin Striped Beanie is too small for a newborn, so I renamed it a Premie hat.  The larger one, previously the 3-month, I renamed the newborn.  Sorry, guys, for any inconvenience!!
