One of my favorite patterns is the Double Trouble Hat. Is that boasty since it is one of my patterns? Here's why.  It is a fast and fun knit and has the bonus feature of using up sock yarn! Yup, that's right another great use for sock yarn that does not require knitting socks on 1's or 2's. The yarn is doubled to make DK and the pattern is knit on size US 6 needles.

I am lucky to have so many friends with such great babies and kids. I love being a part of their lives and getting to watch them grow up and become the people they are going to be. This is one of my favorite baby gifts to knit and I am flattered to say that many have asked for updated sizing as their heads have grown. Of course I want to make sure those little heads are warm and stylish, so I do my best to keep up with production.

I thought it would be fun to put together a little photomontage of all the wee ones in their most recent round of DTs. The middle bottom picture is of Jill’s niece in her Double Trouble hat printed on the back of an M&M candy. Jill, who is a friend and co-worker at Knot Another Hat, was so sweet to save me this M&M!
