Fruit Knit Hats by Butterfly Design

I picked up knitting last year, and I've been able to make a few items for Andy so far. He has two sweaters that just barely fit him which still need buttons sewed on (I still cannot sew!) as well as a few fruit knit hats, one made to look like a pumpkin and another like a strawberry. This hat pattern must be popular because I was able to find the identical hat on Etsy. Etsy is a site that allows you to sell your handmade items online. The seller of these particular hats, Butterfly Design, seems to know what she's doing as her hats look better than mine. Besides the strawberry and pumpkin hats, she also sells a blueberry hat, autumn cranberry hat, a lemon hat, a fall apple hat, a watermelon hat, and many more. Starting November 1st, there will also be winter themed hats for sale. I just love these hats and think they are the cutest thing on a baby's head. If I had more time, I'd be knitting all these hats myself, but unfortunately my knitting projects are on hold for the time being. But you might want to consider them if you'd like your little one to match the seasons and holidays!
