Infant Toboggans

Handmade by Jeannie Phillips ~ Southside, AL
Robby took a nap...I couldn't rest so I decided to knit....  Last night I saw a lady at church with a little hat that she had had knitted (with needles) with red and white strips I fell in love with it...and knew I would have to learn to make me one of those... the first attempt I made was not going to work... but made a cute hat anyway so I finished it off...then I tried a different method that I got in my head after a few minutes... no directions... just trial and error...there is probably an easier way!!!... but this is what I ended up with and I am so happy how it turned out!!... the leftover  yarn I had on hand reminded me of John Deere Green and Yellow.. I love my Knifty Knitters!

  6. Hi Jeannie,
    These baby hats are so sweet!
    Harrison came home from the hospital with a knitted cap made by
    a group here in GA.
    HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to you and Robbie! I wish you both many more
    years of happiness together.
    Hugs,
