umbilical cord/washcloths

Well, here is a picture of a set of items for a woman at work who is having a baby any day now!! This is the umbilical cord hat from Stitch n Bitch. Very easy to do. Of course, this is really my second set! Darling daughter, last of my four children decided to put a little decoration on the first one! Needless to say, I could not pass that one on!
I was trying Bernat cotton tots out. I liked it, but it does pill a little upon washing. I want to make a this hat out of a wool to see the difference. But I couldn't see the newborn in August wearing it! Especially with this hot summer we are having in the northeast!
