This was to be a prototype just to try out the pattern. Luc's mom liked it - a lot. It's made from a white knit fabric similar to sweatshirt fleece. Personally, I am not a fan of the peak being up like that but that's the pattern. The other hat I made was a different pattern that I had already used but I didn't remember to take a photo of it. I made it out of red plaid fleece.
Laila wanted a little vest for Luc to wear under his winter jacket and she wanted the back slightly longer than the front to keep his back warm. It didn't take long to make at all. The fabric is fleece and it's the same fabric as the little jacket and pants I made him earlier this year.
I'm still working on other things and they should be finished soon since this little guy and his mom have now gone home. I'll post a few pics to show you what Luc got up to while he was here on vacation.
I'm linking up with the Needle and Thread Network. Go take a look at what other Canadians are doing this week.
Luc is sure adorable and he looks pretty handsome in his new hat and vest , great job!

ReplyDeleteThe hat is perfect for a little guy in cold climate! The peak lifted up should keep his forehead warm, I have used a similar pattern for my boys. The vest is cute, and Luc looks so nice!

ReplyDeleteIt is always nice to have those visits from the grandkids and to be able to make things for them while they are there. Sometimes I get so frustrated making kids things that I have to mail and wait and wait and wait to see if they fit or were the right colour or...
