Baby Jayne hats

I made Jayne hats for the family last year, mostly as a joke but they were really well received.  We even got a pic of everyone wearing their hats and it was great!  This year, a new little nephew, Peanut, was expected and obviously he would need a hat too.  =)

I don't know much about babies and so I had no clue what size to make.  The pattern was written for adults and so I decided to knit it single stranded rather than double as the pattern called for and I used smaller needles.  This was the largest one in the pictures and was told it was way too big, toddler size rather than baby.



Next I reduced stitches and came up with a good baby size hat according to friends.  However, there was a good chance the little one was going to arrive early so I made an even smaller one.  On the plus side, Peanut now has Jayne hats set for a couple of years.  And as it turns out, he did arrive a touch early but by less than a week and he is perfect!
