An old high school friend posted a link on my Facebook page last week with a special knitting request. She is due in December with a baby boy. And being a proud momma she wants to swaddled her bundle of joy in hand knits. Her request was for a breast hat. I admit I have seen these on the interwebs, but never had the inclination to make one. So to Ravelry I went!
I settled on The Breast Beanie by Irene Birk

So I went stash diving and came up with three colors of cream/pink in Caron Simply Soft. This soft acrylic is my go to for easy care baby knits. The pattern seems straight forward, so I think I’m going to make a couple of color combos and let momma decide.
And away I go!
My Tangled Yarn Knitting Adventures 
I make breast feeding hats! Love them. I call them “knitty titty”. I make them for my baby and for all my friends that breastfeed. So fun.
I just hope mine turn out!
Can’t wait to see it! I have never knit one from bottom up always top down. Would love to see how it comes out.
I prefer the look of decreases of bottom up over increases of top down. But that’s just me
I am excited to see your FO 🙂
It’s…um…wierd. But funny too 🙂 very well made, really looks like it’s supposed to lol!
hahahaha this is so funny!!!
Haha! I don’t think I’ll be putting one of those on my baby’s head (especially during feeding time), but it’s clever nonetheless. 🙂
I want to make one of these so bad. Unfortunately, I don’t have the correct colors in stash. How is that possible??
