Last winter I knit a bamboo baby hat for a friend. I liked it so much, I made another one for Allison. Then a few weeks ago an lj-friend asked if anyone would be interested in knitting a warm hat for her baby. She requested wool, but I told her about my bamboo hats and she said it sounded nice.
Several IRL friends saw the hat before I mailed it and said I should sell them. I was very hesitant, but finally said that I'd give it a trial run, and if it doesn't work out, no harm done.
So, uh, here goes ...
Do you want a bamboo baby hat? Maybe for the holiday season?
I decided I'd take orders through November 22 to ensure holiday delivery. (Hanukkah orders get priority. If it's a Hanukkah order, please mention that!)
The specs:
Yarn is a bamboo/acrylic/rayon blend, (86 percent bamboo) and is machine-washable. These hats are SUPER-soft!
Colors are oatmeal, sage green, yellow, white, blue, rose and baby pink.
Sizes are small/medium or medium/large. The small/medium I made for Allison still fits her and she's almost 8 months old.
Prices are $10 plus shipping for a basic hat. Add $2 for a contrast color stripe. (Currently not pictured, but if someone orders one, I'll add photos of it before I send it out.) Add $4 for a rush order, mailed by Nov. 30.
Also available without the I-cord tail. Please specify if you do NOT want the 6 inches of cord at the top of the hat.
Would you like to see the hat? Of course you would! Good thing I have a resident model whose always happy to help out. This is actually the hat I recently made for my friend's baby, Piper, but I put it on Alli for a minute just to show how well the small size fits her. Oatmeal seems to be a popular color!
Available in rose, blue, sage green and yellow. White and baby pink are not pictured.
