Chunky Baby Hat

My sister in law gave me some lovely yarn for Christmas.

One is a variegated that reminds me of rainbow sherbet. The colors are so vibrant!

I knew I wanted to make something for a little girl out of it. So tonight I cast on a baby hat for one of my cousin's daughters.

It turned out perfectly!!!
