Little Red Riding Hood


See, the cool babies know what it's all about - accessories, accessories, accessories. And ok, it's more of a raspberry color than real red. But I definitely wouldn't call it pink. Doesn't it just beg for a cute little matching cabled cape?


The pattern is Sweater Babe's adorable (and free) crochet pixie hat. The yarn is Schoeller + Stahl WonderWool Tweed (51% virgin wool, 43% acrylic, 6% viscose). And the baby (mine) is just the cutest thing out there, hat or no hat. The only unfortunate thing about the hat is that it covers her golden blonde fluff.

It was wonderfully quick to make, though - I did the whole thing while she napped this morning. Nothing beats a quick and satisfactory project like that to perk you up when you're tearing out almost an entire sweater vest.

It really does want a matching knitted cape... I'll have to see if my local yarn shop still has enough left of it.
