This was a quick test for Elena of Anadiomena Designs.
Pattern : Crossroads Hat by Elena Nodel
Yarn: Colour Adventures Sweet Merino DK in Aegean Sea and Debbie Bliss Wool Cotton Colour 125.

A sweet little hat that is perfect for using up all those scraps in your stash.
The whole hat uses approx 50 grams of yarn.
Stripes are addictive by themselves but seeing that slip stitch pattern emerge really had we wanting to keep knitting until it was finished.
A great unisex pattern to whip up for a gift.

I gave T a couple of colour options and of course she chose blue. It paired up very nicely with some grey left overs I had kicking around.
Little T is just getting over a bad bout of pneumonia and actually her first time being sick other than a runny nose. It was quite a shock for all of us when we found out she was so ill, at first we suspected the flu but when she wasn’t getting any better we knew something was up.
Its so nice to see her smiling face in these pictures and know that she is back to the fun loving little girl we are used to seeing.

Definitely a deserving recipient of one of Mama’s hand knit hugs!
A very sweet hat. I love the slipped stitches.
a super cute hat for a super cute kid!
What a cute hat and I love the stitches!!!
It is a beautiful hat!
I loved the colors that T chose!
Good that she healed!
Have a nice weekend!
I love the hat, and the colors! Your little girl is a super cute model
poor T, I’m so glad she’s better, poor mama too! excellent hat, very nice indeed.
I’m so glad T is feeling much better now. She looks lovely and healthy. Perhaps from the warmth of her mama’s lovingly handknitted hat! Very cute hat and the construction looks very clever.
That is a fabulous hat!
Sorry to hear that T was so ill but glad she is feeling better.
I’m so glad T is better ! I’m sure it was a worry for all of you . Stella had pneumonia as well in January . She ended up in the hospital for a few days .She ‘s back to normal now , what a relief …

What a wonderful picture. Both hat and model. So glad T is okay.
Love that hat…and I’m so glad the T is feeling better!!!!! She always makes me smile…
It is so scary to have a sick kid. We are just getting better after a month of everyone in our home being sick. Sending you healthy thoughts!
Oh, I love that hat!
I really need to knit one for one of my kids
And I absolutly need to check out that vampire book! Love that genre. I have read the first book in the Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa and liked it very much!
Have a great Sunday!
That is a lovely hat. Love that your beautiful model is back to her normal. I know how hard is for the entire family when the little ones are sick. Have a great week!
So glad to hear that T’s feeling better! Super cute hat on her.
