I know it seems like that's what I'm doing. I knit up this hat and scarf for L.'s niece. But actually, when I saw this yarn in the store, I just thought of knitting something similar for the two most important babies in our lives..my niece and L.'s niece. Then I found out that my niece is going to be in Mumbai during the winter, where there is hardly any need for such warm clothes, so dropped the idea. I did of course go ahead with my plan to knit something for P. to protect her against Jaipur's harsh winter.
I used one skein of Red Heart Baby Clouds yarn and US size 11 needles for this. The best part about this yarn is that it's machine washable. Hopefully this would make life easier for L.'s sister-in-law. It also does look cute, however, I'm not entirely thrilled by the feel of the yarn. I think next time I'm going to try to get a yarn that feels really soft to touch. The pattern is extremely simple garter stitch. I did the hat first (I'm not entirely sure if it will fit her) and then did the scarf with the remaining yarn.
I'm still wondering what to do with the other skein that I bought.
