simple t-shirt baby hat
This is a great way to use old t-shirts! Even those in imperfect condition are likely to work. The original directions had the seams on the inside, but I kept them out for baby's comfort. And it also called for cutting the decoration out with pinking shears, which I don't have so I had to sew up my edges. I used a bit of cross stitch from a hand embroidered napkin I bought for 1 euro at a flea market. It has about 6 of these flowers on it, so I'll get my money's worth! For Edie, who is now 15 months, I enlarged the pattern. The original pattern seems to fit 6-12 mo, approximately. The result was a cute, very comfortable, Spring/Summer weight hat that Edie kept on quite well - and that took literally 5 minutes to make. It was hard to get a good pic of her in it because I needed sun light for the shot but she doesn't like her baby eyes in such brightness!

Rakel, this is an adorable design. Your decision to put the seams out is good. I looked high and low for something like this for Andrea. Carter didn't have the white ones they used to have. If they only take a few minutes and cost you little or nothing, make 50 of them and I'll put them in a baby booth at the elf shelf. If we sell them for let's say $6 and give the booth lady $1 then you still have $250. Of course, you can also just enjoy making them and use them for gifts. It's the comfort aspect that appeals to me so much.
