After finishing the Antler Cardigan and Hat set I thought it would be nice to make matching hats for some new little ones on the way and their big brothers. I really enjoyed working with the Malabrigo Rios yarn. Very squishy. I've certainly had a lot of fun with this pattern as well. For the … Continue reading Babies and Big Brothers
