I have a confession to make: I have never, in the whole course of my life, finished a baby gift on time. I have delivered gifts late, and I’ve delivered them incomplete. (Bad knitiquette, I know. But I darned in the ends, if that helps!)
With this hat pattern, though, it’s all possible again. With this hat pattern, I may even be finished my gift… early.
