The event - The Little Heroes Ball - is being held to raise funds for children who are visually impaired or blind. The people who we are going with have two children who have a rare condition which means they only see in shades of grey, and have been going there for the last 2 years or more. Their eldest child was the poster boy for this years fundraising campaign. It's going to be a great night with friends.
Last Wednesday I spoke to the people we're going with to arrange the logistics of the evening. During the conversation, my friend asked me whether I'd ever knitted a hat for a baby? Apparently a friend of a friend of hers had her baby 10 weeks early, and the tiny little girl is now just about 4lbs. The friend saw a blanket that I'd knitted and wondered if I could do a hat for her friends baby (confused yet?)
So, despite getting nervous about my first ever fayre to sell my scarves, for which I'm also the event organiser, next Wednesday, I popped out on Thursday to get some very soft, but still machine washable, yarns, and here is what I've come up with. Thing is, I'm not entirely sure just how tiny the baby's head is, so have done a few sizes. What do you think:
