Sunday Share Day #11

This week all I took pictures of were these two cuties hanging out on the bean bag. These were the best two of them all, so I thought I would share..

 

How to Make a Knitted Hat (Nehemiah's Hat)

 I bought this kit at Wal-mart.

 The size yarn to use is between size 3-5.

 Make a loop

 and tie it around the knob,

 loop the yarn around the prongs,

 once you have went around one time,

 go around one more time,

 tie it off on the knob again,

 hook the bottom over the top yarn

 and over the peg,

 push the yarn down a little bit.

 Start looping the yarn around the pegs again 

and repeat the steps above.

Once you have gone around about 4-5 times,

untie the tail from the knob & let it hang.

 Once you get 4-5 inches long

 cut the tail about 3 inches long.

 Thread the yarn thru the blue needle.

 Pull the needle thru each hoop

 and pull the yarn off of the peg.

 I thread mine thru one more time 

and then pull tight.

 Tie a knot two times so that it will

not come undone.

 Pull the yarn thru the inside of the hat

and cut off.

 Take the tail and thread into the needle.

 Stitch upward thru the stitch

 as far as you think you need to go.

 Turn the hat inside out and take off

needle and cut excess off.

 You are done!

You can roll the bottom of the hat up and down depending on how small you need to make it. I have read on other sites about making clothes for preemies and babies that have passed away, not to use yellow yarn as it will make the baby look bad. If you have any questions, please comment and I will respond.

Nehemiah's Hats

I am getting ready for our second annual delivery of Nehemiah's Hats. I have almost doubled what I made last year, so I believe I will be able to donate to both hospitals' NICUs.

It is just hard to believe that this year will be 5 years since our precious baby became an angel.

Here is a preview of what I have so far...still knitting away.

I think when I have some free time I may do a step-by-step instruction post. I did buy a smaller loom this year, but the hats are really teeny..think I might make some of those if I have time that they can give to the tiniest of babies.

I got some ideas from a blog I fell upon this evening, click here. I might try these next year. I will keep yall posted of what is next!
