See what happens...

When you try to enlarge a pattern! The rectangular piece wound up short of what was needed to wrap around the car.



















I tweaked the pattern a bit--problem solved.

OK, today I made my first baby beanie AND I finally learned how to use the automatic needle threader on my CS 6000i sewing machine--which I LOVE...

For the hat I found a great video on YouTube "click here for link". I didn't quite get how to do the crown so I searched Googleland for clearer instructions.

I found written instructions, with pictures, for a beanie (with a lining) "click here for link".

For pattern sizes "click here for link".

A bit tricky for me, but I can't wait to do one for myself. Anyway, I will find out if my head is large or extra large...
