Tops and Toes


A few months ago, my grandma gave me this cute book called Tops and Toes, which has several really cute hat and sock patterns, for adults and kids. At Halloween, I made the ladybug and bumblebee hats for two of my friends' adorable little daughters, although I unfortunately neglected to take a picture before passing them on to their recipients. The only complaint I had was that the pattern actually sized them as preemie hats, so I had to adjust accordingly, and ended up with two hats not quite the size I wanted, for reasons I still can't figure out (I swear I checked the gauge!)

I've also read online that some people complained about errors in the patterns; since I've only made the two hats, I can't really speak to that. But assuming you're experienced enough to be on the lookout for potential errors (and know how to correct), I think this is a pretty nice book. I'm looking forward to making a few other things once I'm allowed to start new projects again. :P
