    Those hats are just adorable! I've been keeping my eye out for a cute pattern that I think I could handle making. My granddaughter ( my only grandchild) just turned 1 yr old this past August so I'm hoping to make some cute hats and sundresses to match by next summer so she'll be the cutest girl in her neighborhood.

    I would love to join your giveaway. Making and giving little hats for birthdays and Christmas is what I am infamous for. I am always on the look out for older hats (have good toddler/baby hats). After Thornberry's review of your pattern, this will be an aquisition if the giveaway fails. ;D
