     What do you do when you are waiting for a new baby to make her appearance? The showers are over, the due date is past, everything needed to welcome your baby is in place, but she still isn't coming?  Well, what I do is crochet!
     When Alicia had her first baby, she was early, but I still spent a lot of time waiting while her son was being born. So, I crocheted little booties (not very successfully) and little hats (more successful) for him.  So, this time, while waiting for Sofia to make her appearance, I decided to make her some little hats and headbands.  I may attempt booties again, we shall see. 
      I found a cute pattern on Kelley's Yarns that was so simple, and mostly double crochet. The pattern is called Lickity Split Crocheted Newborn Hats. Alicia and I picked out a nice pink variegated yarn and a big flower to decorate it with. (We used Lion's Brand, it is so nice.) This little cap worked up in about half and hour or less and was super easy.  I had plenty of yarn in one skein to make some headbands with crochet flowers (a latter post) and another hat for Lindsey's baby. So, we decided to make a little video that shows the simple double crochet that creates this hat!  You can check out our YouTube channel (3 Winks Design) here and subscribe and watch all of our videos whenever you want to do that! (Our famous Hot Cocoa Bomb video is on there, and this is a great time of year to start making those as holiday gifts.)
     What did you think?  Let us know.

Now that we have this little pink cap, let's make it even more girly!

I cut the stem off of this big flower and then stitched a felt patch on the back for extra protection. I don't want anything poking the baby's head! Be sure to stitch threw all of the layers of petals so the flower doesn't fall apart.

I stitched the flower right onto the hat. We can't wait to see it on the baby!
Update!!!  She is here!  Watch for Pictures on the next post!

I love these little hats. My grand daughters wore these as babies and they are gorgeous on babies.
