A while back I bought the book Art to Heart: Count On It at the local quilt shop to brush up on practicing my quilting skills on little small projects. It has a square hanging for each month and I've finished almost all of them! There was also an option to make a cupcake one for birthdays. I figured this would be a nice thing for Little Bub to have every year at his party. I added a little caterpillar with some velcro that can be taken off for next year's party.
Time for a true confession: I may have an obsession with crocheting hats for Little Bub to wear for every holiday and/or season. Seriously, I will have to post a picture of my ever-growing pile. I actually taught myself to crochet specifically to make hats for my baby before he was born. I certainly wasn't going to buy any crocheted hat for $15 plus when yarn is so cheap! (If you haven't noticed by now, this is an ongoing theme of all my projects!).
When I first started crocheting, I bought my first pattern from Sunset Crochet on Etsy. Her pattern was easy enough for a beginner like me, so that's who most of my patterns come from. She has a pattern for a Very Hungry Caterpillar hat and cocoon set for a newborn size. I just made a larger version of that hat for my soon-to-be one year old. (I also made the newborn size and cocoon for future use!). Little Bub won't be wearing this hat on the day of party probably because he'll be indoors, but it was perfect for his one year photos!
