I finished this before the KAL, and it is crochet BUT.........................


But she looks so cute in it! This is the crochet pattern we used to make all the preemie hats for Save the Children (we sent in 242 hats). The knit pattern is also available, and they go really fast. A great thing to pick up if your chosen knitting is too complicated to do while watching Jane Austen. (http://www.savethechildren.org/publications/capstothecapital-kit11.pdf)

Hey, I did this too (but knit and only made 9 hats). I must say it gave me a very warm and fuzzy feeling, but I thought the 'Caps to the Captitol campaign was long over.

It is, but we are still doing them for local hospitals. For Christmas, we did a joint program with the social services to make hats and scarves so low income families could give their kids home made presents for Christmas. The next one we are working on is afghan squares for Warm Up America. It's so easy to get other people involved-it's fun.
