Valleygrrl Baby Pixie Hat

Wow, where did June go?

I have been knitting...really.  Here's proof:

The most common complaint I hear from my friends when they’re expecting a girl is that as much as they like the pink, it gets overwhelming.

As a result, this modern color combo was born – a little mocha trim and pink and mocha pom-pom baby hat! A fast knit and 100% cotton yarn.
