Stripy hat

I've made a little hat for my friend Chrissie's baby girl, as a thank you present because Chrissie keeps giving me all her outgrown baby clothes - I have drawerfuls of newborn size babygros!

I used a debbie bliss pattern (see http://www.ravelry.com/projects/EllatheElephant/simple-hat) with some left over baby cashmerino, so it is very soft. Mostly, though, I am very proud of having mastered (ish) mattress stitch for sewing it up, as the seam is almost invisible on the outside. I messed up a little at the end of the seam and I didn't reverse it for as much as I should have done, so you can see the seam on the rolled up edge, but it is still a huge step forward for me!
