I'm busily making hats and blankets. I've got a pretty good stack already.

I've got 5 burial gowns done and 2 almost done. Do you need them lined? I'm a little worried about lining them I don't want to make them ugly with my lining skills

[CrisKad]

They don't need to be lined. Thanks so much for the gowns you've already made!

That's so good to know! I've been worried about the same thing too, lol! I've got one done (the 1st I've ever made) and it looks so pretty, I didn't want to ruin it!

 

I have a question about squares....do they have to be baby weight yarn or could I do some in CSS? Thanks!

A big thanks to nnt!

 

I rcvd the beautiful ghans and adorable hats! Thank you so much for all that hard work.

 

 

Can I ask what pattern you're using for the hats? I love them!

[nnt]

I'm SO glad they got there safely, Christina!!

 

I use this pattern for my preemie hats:

 

http://home.att.net/~susanBinKC/patterns.html?premcap.html

 

It includes a really nice chart to help you make different sizes of hats, and I like the ribbing that makes the hat extra-stretchy. I also use the same pattern to make newborn hats (I just make the starting chain a little bigger, and make the piece longer) and even up to adult hats (I had to make a hat to fit my dad's 21" head!!). They are really easy!

[CrisKad]

Thanks so much! I'm definitely going to bookmark this page!
