No hat lovin
>> Thursday, January 6, 2011
I wish my kids loved wearing hats. I love to knit them hats. I love how fast they are and how quickly they are finished. But no matter how many I knit or how much input they have on color and type they just don't get worn. "My head is itchy" is all I hear and off comes the hat. I have seen some tutorials for lining a knit hat with fleece which is on my to do list but until then here is one solution for my daughter.
A headband. Which at least will get worn.
Something that is at least covering her ears. Warm and soft. Do you notice how still these shots are? All I heard was.....when can I run? I held her off as long as I could so I only got a few shots before she was off around the yard.
Of course it is pink. This girl was born loving pink....I swear it wasn't me.
A very quick knit. Pattern can be found here (free). I just used some scrap yarn from something and followed the pattern. The best part is that the center lace pattern makes it easy to size for any head. Just sew a button on one end and use any part of the lace as the buttonhole. So maybe instead of my daughter raiding her mommy's closet I can go raid hers :)

That headband looks like plane knitting to me!
Looks like it surely is something worth borrowing from little miss. Very cute! Don't know how I would feel if my gang didn't like wearing hats. I'll count myself lucky that they do. :)
Oh, that is the sort of thing I love. I don't really love a hat either. And it is so cute with pigtails.
Do we have the same children? Love this idea! My 6 yr old may be get one this weekend :)
love it! this looks like the perfect solution for my cold ears while I direct parents in the drop off loop at school in the morning! going to check out the pattern!!
I think you may have the smartest daughter in the world! The girl loves pink what more can I say? :)
That headband is adorable. I think I may make one for myself. Thank you for the link.
Sometimes going with what works for them is the most important, eh? Looks great! :o)
Great headband!
It's very cute on her!!! Pink is a beautiful color :)
Awesome knit! Love how perfectly it fits your girl! This is such a wonderful pattern - love that it's adjustable!
what a brilliant knit...it is adorable too. It'll surely keep her ears warm while she's buzzing around the yard. Lucky for her she's got such a great mama!
