As a professional children’s photographer, I have an obsession with having a range of cute and quirky caps for children to wear in the photographs I take. There is nothing cuter than a little one  \nwearing a knit on their noggin! But the problem was, I wasn’t having much success finding hats that would look good in photos. I wanted something with great texture, fun color, and, really, I didn’t want the hats to look perfect and store-bought. They needed to have some attitude, a bit of whimsy, and be able to complement the character of the child wearing it. So picking up the needles myself was my next best option.  \nI had actually been taught to knit before. Several times, at least. By my nan and my mum as a little girl, and then in my teenage years, by my future mother-in-law. It didn’t stick, though. Inevitably I’d become frustrated at my lack of skill and the clumsy stitches I was producing or grow bored with the miles and miles of plain garter stitch scarf that was supposed to be the perfect beginner’s project.  \nWith the help of various books and websites, I finally taught myself how to knit while pregnant with my youngest daughter. I wanted to make cute little hats for her newborn photographs, but I never managed to find a pattern I liked or that was easy enough for me to finish with my very limited knitting skills. Fast-forward a few months, and finally decided to just grab my needles and a ball of yarn and knit a hat. No pattern. No real clue what I was doing. But somehow, it worked. And from the moment that tiny little hat was formed, I was HOOKED. I could not stop making hats!  \nIt was soon apparent that not only did my children have more hats than they could ever possibly wear (not even counting the ones I’d bought before I started making them), but that I had more than enough for any photo shoot I might have. So, what to do? Fellow photographers urged me to start selling them online, which I did, and I was amazed by the response. It turns out I wasn’t the only one looking for fun, colorful, whimsical baby hats! And before I knew it, I was opening up an email asking me ifI was interested in writing a book!  \nOne of the best parts of knitting is the online knitting community. It is huge. So many websites, blogs, podcasts, and forums devoted to knitting are out there. And so many fellow knitters, happy to share advice, feedback, e","cbCaivjEuDDawMKv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivjEuDDawMKv","pdf",23356367,5,1,233,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Gearing Up\n## Getting Started the Beanies\n## Hat Styles\n## Resources\n## Acknowledgments\n## Index","[{\"question\":\"Who is Amanda Keeys and why does she knit baby beanies?\",\"answer\":\"Amanda Keeys is a children’s photographer who wanted adorable, quirky knit hats that look great in photos.
