Thank you randa!

This is really easy but it's so adorable. Plus since it's such a small project this was perfect for me to learn the fdc stitch with. Thank you for all the amazing (and free) patterns.

Hi Tamara;
Thanks so much for sharing this adorable quick and simple baby hat. Love it!! I make hats that are gifted for the newborns at a local hospital and have made more than a dozen of these so far. Will send you a picture soon. They've been so much fun to make!!
Thanks again, Teresa

I found one if your patterns late last night that had a chart for head sizes in it and directions for a beanie that had a z stitch at the bottom. I thought I saved it in my Ravelry account and it's not their either. Apparently, I backed out if the webpage too far and I am unable to find it on my phone again. Can you please send me a link so I can finish the beanie I am on and make some more? Please and thank you!
Tamara Kelly
I'm sorry Dawn, I don't think that was one of mine!
Dawn Martin
Thank you! I'll keep looking, it definitely linked to your moogly blog videos. Maybe I'll just wing it I'm at the end anyway. 🙂
