Hortense reached out to me several months ago about being a guest designer on the Made with a Twist blog and I was so pleased to be able to invite her to 30 Days of Cozy – I just love the tenacity of designers and people who ask for what they want! And now, I’m even more pleased to share with you her Peek-a-boo Baby Hat pattern as today’s brand new design for 30 Days of Cozy. I think it’s going to become your go-to baby project.
Meet Hortense
I ’m Hortense, a passionate knitter, crocheter and yarn addict. I created Knitting with Chopsticks to share my creations and help you make your own.
It’s thanks to blogs like this one that I have learned most of what I know about knitting and crochet. My mom taught me the basics of knitting when I was a small girl, bored on the beach (yep, that’s possible when you are 10) and since then I haven’t stopped. Always looking to learn, do more, do better and share my love of yarn, I created Knitting with Chopsticks to make knitting and crochet as simple as it gets so YOU can create what YOU want the way YOU want it.
