    Felt Flower Tutorial + Baby Hat = Extreme Cuteness

    Free printable template to make a DIY felt flower--perfect for accenting a baby hat or headband. | MakeAndDoCrew.com

    A little while ago, I posted this felt flower tutorial. I love to use these little flowers as pins, hair flair and even as floating “lily pads” on my dining room table.

    The one thing I hadn’t thought to do was to stick a felt flower on a baby. (Could be because there’s an unfortunate shortage of chubby-cheeked munchkins in my daily life.)

    Well, Lauren at Ruthie Pearl has a munchkin of her own and little Harper has inspired perhaps the cutest use of a felt flower yet.

    Wanna save this pattern?

    We'll email you this so you can come back to it later!

    Does this adorableness not just make your ovaries quiver? Lauren designed this knit hat pattern herself and is lovingly sharing it with everyone for free over at her blog. She’s even written instructions for supersizing it if there’s an adult munchkin in your life who needs a fabulous flowered hat.

    While you’re busy knitting though, I’m pretty sure baby Harper is going to grab that passport and take the first flight to Paris. Doesn’t that spiffy hat make her look like she should be in a cafe sipping baby espresso? Really.

    So if this hat has inspired your own Parisian fantasy, grab the template for the felt flower and the hat pattern over here at Ruthie Pearl. And don’t forget to leave Lauren a comment so she knows you dropped by. I believe people who give their awesome knitting patterns away for free AND tell you how to amend them for different yarn weights deserve some digital kisses blown their way.

      I’ve been sporting my flower in my hair and on the lapel of my coat and I’ve had about a million compliments! I can’t imagine if I had a baby to pin one on and carry around! What an adorable little bambino and a fantastic idea!!

        Hey hey! I know–just think about how many more craft accessories you can “wear” at any given moment if you’re able to deck your baby out in them too. Can’t wait for the expanded “canvas” of some offspring!

      If I had the motivation I’d make a slew of these and turn them into a holiday garland to use on my staircase.

        Oooo! That would be so beautiful! I bet you could make them look like poinsettias. Great idea!

      This post looks amazing! Thank you so much for sharing Harper’s adorableness. I absolutely love your writing style. Harper makes my ovaries quiver every time I look at her, and I just popped her out six months ago! Hahaha! I need more!!!!

        Yay! Although I have one cute husband, I’m so happy to have someone under the age of thirty grace one of my posts! If I could pinch Harper’s cheeks through this screen, I’d do it. Thanks again for sharing such a fantastic pattern just in time for holiday sweatshopping!
