This will be a hat for my cousin Laura’s baby, due mid April, as long as he stays put. He has been making moves to arrive a bit earlier.

The pattern is called “Fetching Inspired Hat“.

I am using yarn from my stash–Serenity Chunky in Walden Pond.  I’m a little worried it might be too small.  If so, the baby’s big sister Roo can use it with her dolls.

The tightness of doing cables in chunky yarn is making my hands ache a bit.  And although I like using bamboo dpns when knitting in the round, I generally prefer the slippery nature of metal needles.

UPDATE:  Finished!
