oh chapeau

Did you notice the change this morning?  It really felt like fall!  The outside air so crisp and clear.  The perfect time for hats...  

abbey, zoe, libby, mara and sam model their new hats

My girls insisted that I make them each a new one and with that, I worked up a crochet hat pattern using noro sock, oh how I love noro sock yarn.  So pretty, long colorways, the texture is rustic and soft at the same time…If any of your blythe girls are in need of a new hat, the pattern is below...have fun!
