Whew! It’s a whopping 49 degrees with humidex here in Toronto. I confess, I love it. It hits your right in the face when you walk outside and despite knowing that I’ve got an hour and a half of Karate in this oven tonight I still love it. I will remember days like this when I’m complaining about snow in April.

I just cast off 2 adorable Berry Baby Hats for my friend Joe, who is expecting his first grandchildren very soon! They’re having twins; a boy and a girl and I thought these hats would be the perfect cute gift.

The pattern was written by Michele Sabatier who generously shares this lovely pattern for free on her blog.

I used 3 balls of Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran (lots of each ball is left over) in colours 017 for the purple, 018 for the blue and 502 for the green.

Though it’s not exactly knitted hat weather it’s what I’ve got on the brain as I attempt – finally, this year, to actually give myself enough time to knit everyone’s Christmas gifts (crossing fingers).
