Strawberry Baby Hat

Let's ring in the summer with some refreshing strawberries! This was one of my favorite patterns to design: before starting, I pictured the end result in my head, figured out which stitches I wanted to use, sat down to start knitting it, and got it right on the FIRST try! This almost never happens. The vast majority of my patterns get reworked countless times before I finally get them right, so on the rare occasion that something works on the first try, it's always a cause for celebration. So here's to summer 2022!!
