Very nice work!! This is NOT the easiest pattern, and I am impressed
over how well you have knitted the flowers!
And the HAT is so sweet!
Congratulations!

What a lovely little cap! Congratulations on learning a new technique.
I'm embarrassed to admit that it's taken me until now to start making
squares, i.e. granny squares. I'm completely in love with these little
things at the moment. By this time next month I'm hoping to start with
some tapestry crochet. Learning new methods and designs is one of my
greatest pleasures.

Thanks for the compliments! blush

The pattern is from Dalegarn book 135.

The pattern calls for fingering weight yarn, but since this was a
learning exercise, I used DK (Dreambaby) and knit the newborn size.
I also used the next bigger size hook to crochet the border so it sticks
out a little instead of lying flat. I think the proportions worked out
ok for a toddler or younger hat, depending on her head size. She is due
to be born in January. My first grandchild!

Great job! I love the 2 stranded work, and the crocheted edge is so
cute!
