Remember
those newborn photos we had taken when Dexter was 2 weeks old? Well, I guess I must have impressed our photographer because she asked if I could make her some baby hats in trade for some more high res shots of our little one. Sure, why not? So I cranked out two gender-neutral accessories that seemed like surefire crowd pleasers:

Lesson learned: Dexter does not like wearing hats that cover his ears. But he's so stinkin' cute! |

Yay for baby elf ears! |
The photographer was so giddy over the first batch that she asked for two more: one really girly and one really boy-y, so I obliged.

Somehow Dexter knew he was being forced to cross-dress... |

The newsboy hat was too small to fit on Dexter, so the staircase banister will have to do |
If that wasn't enough, my original crochet teacher
Lisa has been blessed with her first kiddo, and when I asked her what I could make for their son-to-be, she responded, "Hats!" :) There is an infinite number of ways to accessorize baby girls, but boys seem to only get, well, caps and socks so I wanted to make sure my gifts were especially unique. You'll have to let me know if I succeeded:

Pip pip, cheerio! |

No puny iPhone buds for audiophiles like me |
Whew, my fingers are tired! No rest for the weary though; I've gotta finish Dexter's Halloween costume before the month's end. And then I should probably start working on his Christmas stocking next. It'll be nice when I can go back to creating without a deadline. O_O

Too cute...am just learning myself...so am only doing the typical scarves and basic blankets! Love the hats would love to be able to whip those off...or adult ones (beanie)
@Katy - Hats are really easy (and fast to boot)! There's lots of great tutorials out there; I know you'll be able to do it. :)
