Twice is Nice

On Saturday I decided to make another baby hat. I am expecting another grand niece soon, which will increase my mother's great-grandchild count to three. To me this is an impressive number!

It turns out that while the first hat was simple to make, it still took a little figuring, which I failed to make note of, and I spent several attempts on the second hat to make sure the increases lined up neatly. Thus I shall make notes.

Oh, also, note how the hats are perfectly matched. I did not plan it that way. The yarn for the second hat was already at the exact spot to start the exact same hat.

Knit in sockotta yarn on size 3 addi turbo circular needle.
