I finished the quilts for the new addition and just kept on making things.. One day I felt like knitting so I ravelry’d.. ravelried (?) around trying to find a baby hat. I found one with a whale-tail called
Little Whale Tail Newborn Hat by Amy O’Holleran. I thought it very appropriate considering the first quilt and the tiny baby socks with a whale on that I found in a shop.
So I took some yarn in the same colour as the socks and knit it up. It wasn’t very difficult and for once I chose to use double pointed needles instead of circulars. I did use some of the helpful comments of people who had already made it to figure out how to do the tail. It’s easy once you understand it.
I sort of really love it and am wondering if I should just knit one for myself, but I probably won’t.
