My daughter likes to tell me she’s a cross between a girly girl and a tomboy. I told her that just made her a person that has a lot of interests, and there’s noting wrong with that.
Along with her crafty side, she loves to play sports, collect race cars and trucks, be outdoors, going on insect hunts with me, and she enjoys building with her building blocks, etc.,
When it comes to clothing… she likes to dress down, and she also adores pretty clothes! My daughter enjoys life. It’s so nice to see her doing what she enjoys, and not trying to fit into an inaccurate mold. I was the same way at her age; in fact I still am like that.
This morning, I scoured Ravelry for about an hour looking for a feminine hat. Check out the super cute pattern below…
I think I stumbled upon the perfect candidate, don’t you?
My daughter constantly tells me that I need to start posting more of my elaborate knitting projects. I told her, I’d start doing that. This knitted heart hat is designed by Linda Cyr. Isn’t she talented? I’m thrilled that this hat features intarsia knitting (heart design.) Have I ever told you how much I adore designing and following intarsia and fair islepatterns? I promise I’ll try to take more photos of my work, before they are sent away.
I’m going to modify this pattern just a bit… instead of knitting the heart flaps, I’ve decided to crochet them. After all, I find crocheted hearts much nicer than knitted hearts.
My daughter is loving this hat. She thinks she’ll be the hit of her fourth grade class.
I can’t wait to test drive my Hiya Hiya knitting needles
In other news…
My first order for the Hiya Hiya needles arrived today. I just ordered this two days ago. How’s that for awesome customer service? I’ll be test driving the Hiya Hiya needles when I make a hat for our angel. I’m tempted to make her the heart hat.
That looks so nice! Not surprised that your daughter loves it – my daughter would too! She loves hearts = love! I wonder what yours looks like when it’s done – different colour combination, I see.

@suituapui, I like hearts too, just looking at the hat makes me smile. 🙂 I’ll have to post an update when it’s finished. I have some ‘glimmer yarn’ arriving in the mail, so I’ll be outlining the heart (ear) flaps with that yarn.

@Jennifer, As a child, I was the same way. I still am like that.
