First let me show you this leafy dress, knitted in a pretty mint green yarn by me in the early 1980's and never gifted most likely because 'it' ended up being a boy. It has been carefully stored with some other unwanted items, some of which were made even earlier than that.
I unearthed this recently and decided that maybe it would be suitable for baby V.
These leaves are knitted on the bottom band all the way around - I delivered to the intended family and it was much appreciated.
While I was still playing with the flower tutorial from Happy In Red, I made this little hat by joining the flower petals with chain and then working rows of dc to the required length.
Wishing you a week with happy creative pauses.

Love the crochet hat. What a clever idea.
Lovely that your little dress has found a home. Sometimes a purpose just pops up even after a long time.
Have a great week!
