I'm pretty late to the game but I finally got around to trying the Caron Cakes yarn from Michael's. I bought a skein a few months ago when I saw it on sale but couldn't decide what to do with it. I saw this pattern from Make & Do Crew and thought I'd try it out. I generally don't like the color changing variegated yarn. It has it's uses, of course but I'm really not a fan.

I had a couple of other posts planned to get out this week but this one came together first. A basic beanie is a great way to practice working circles. And you can take a basic beanie and add details and make it lots of things. The hardest part about hats, for me at least, is sizing. For some reason I think that babies all have really tiny
