Pattern: Cotton Bam Boo Baby Cable Hat by Andi Clark
Yarn: Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino, 1 x 50g in colour: #010
Needles: 3mm Addi circs

Definitely the girliest baby knit so far! After seeing this pattern in the Classic Elite Yarns weekly newsletter, I thought it was adorable, but not one for a baby boy. So I queued it until I knew for certain one way or the other. And then when I did..!

The pattern is very simple and the hat only took a couple of evenings to knit, but I was held up by blocking and then needing to find matching ribbon. I think I could have just worked an i-cord instead, but then I think a girly hat needs a girly ribbon, doesn’t it?

Obviously Classic Elite Cotton Bam Boo is pretty impossible to find round these parts, but Baby Cashmerino is the same weight and it will make a nice snug autumn hat. It’s getting to be a favourite yarn of mine, though I’ve only used it three times, all for hats. I think I really need to buy a baby cardigan’s-worth, just to see if I still like it…

The other knits are all dry now, so once I have buttons and zips, more FO posts will follow and I will look ultra-productive!
