It's almost baby Zoe's 1st birthday (I cannot believe a year has passed that quickly!)... since I can't be there for the party (sniff, sniff), I thought I would send her something hand-made to wear while celebrating (and hopefully shoving cake in her face).
Party hat, y'all!
I used this ridiculously easy and quite cute pattern (although I added a few extra rows at the bottom to make it bigger). I decided to stripe mine to use up random bits of yarn I had left over from other projects (all of it Lily Sugar n' Cream cotton yarn) and to give it some additional personality.
Finally, I topped it with a pom-pom made following this video tutorial. I didn't trim my pom-pom because I liked the rough, Muppet-esque quality it had.
Lincoln helped, too, trying on the hat (somewhat begrudgingly... can you feel the virtual eye-roll?) at the various stages:
(Zoe, party hat is on the way. Hopefully it makes it in time!!)
