  WIP: Umbilical Cord Hat from SnB 
  Originally uploaded by goingdomestic.

I finished up the baby hat over the weekend. I really liked making it - it was quick to knit up, and the whole knitting-in-the-round thing is ingenious!

This is based on the Umbilical Cord hat pattern from SnB, and I struggled a bit with how to wrap the yarn around the needle for the i-cord that finished up the top of the hat, but it all worked out okay in the end.  My darling husband took me to the yarn store this past Saturday, and I've picked up some soft and earthy DK-weight yarn to use for future hats. Having made one, though, I am really interested in seeing how I can play around with this basic pattern ...

Also, I lurked in the Coffeeshop section at Knitty the other night for the first time, and I am blown away at all of the info there! Great resource, there.

Hi

Didn't you start knitting fairly recently? I am impressed! Is it difficult? I would like to knit some hats for my little one.

Your hat looks great! I thought I cords were a bit tricky too the first time I tried one but they are very cool. Knitty in general is an amazing reference.
