Adorable ideasJun 23, 2008
I love this book! I've already made three hats out of the book and can't wait to make more. Yes, some of the designs are down right silly, but if you are a mom you know that's exactly what kids love. My two year old twins love the cow and cat hats. I loved the fact that I could make them in a few hours. The designs are easily adaptable too. I made the acorn hat in two shades of blue for a baby shower and it was a huge hit - not your same old baby hat!
Adorable patternsNov 24, 2007
What a great book! There are so many adorable patterns, something for every skill level. They work up super quick too! These patterns will be a very sweet addition to any baby shower gift. The cotton yarn most of the patterns call for is inexpensive too, and I have found the hats I have worked up don't look "homemade" at all.

 SIMPLY ADORABLE!Dec 26, 2006
The hats featured in this book are REALLY cute and clever. Unfortunately, however, some of the pattern sizing seems wonky (even though I made gauge swatches) and some of the patterns slightly unclear. Also, there are some small details not to my liking (the drawstring tie on the kitty hat), but nothing that I couldn't figure out how to change. Irregardless, I do highly recommend the book (especially if you're looking for something "different"), as does my two-year-old daughter who will spend hours just looking at the pictures! :)

Imaginative patternsDec 06, 2005
This is perfect for little ones, especially the patterns on the cover. Although I can't make them for my granddaughter yet( she is still very small), you can bet that I will be, so many cute patterns that will be enjoyed by the babies.

Super cute hats for babiesSep 26, 2005
This book is full of hats for babies (up to 24 months) with a few accessories like slippers, mittens and a purse.
The hats are mostly "costume" hats - there's a pointy elf hat with a fuzzy chin strap that looks like a beard, there's a pink poodle hat that uses eyelash yarn to make the curly hair of the dog, a chocolate kiss using silver yarn and a sweet strawberry with a green stem.
These are not the old crocheted items your great-aunt used to make...these are cute, hip, "new" styles that are sure to get lots of compliments.
