Little Abbee

Today I am going to share a tutorial for one of the cutest little photo prop hats I have ever seen!  Of course, that beautiful baby is what makes it cute!  Isn't she beautiful?  And before I forget, I do need to give the credit for all of these amazing newborn photos to Sheri Beavers of Sweet Pea Photos .  Thank you Sheri!  She has taken most of the newborn photos that you see in my Etsy Shop. This hat really is a simple, and easy pattern.  You just use some fun fur (they have lost of fun colors too), and some worsted weight yarn.  You will only use basic stitches.  Just a small warning, fun fur is a tiny bit harder to work with than regular yarn, but you will get the hang of it pretty quick.  Now for a few more photos of the hat before we begin.   Now, after looking at these cuuuuute pictures, you probably want to make one for your next photo shoot, right?  So, lets get started with the pattern.
