Flying can be a stressful experience for anyone — especially parents of a newborn. Thankfully for mom Kelly Levine, her seat mate turned out to be the sweetest passenger.
“The coolest thing happened on our baby’s first flight,” Levine shared in a recent TikTok video.
In the quick clip, Levine explained that after she and her husband boarded their flight from Mexico to New Jersey, they both noticed their baby, Romey, become quickly enthralled with the woman knitting next to them.
“She secretly worked on knitting Romey a beanie by the time we landed,” Levine revealed, along with an adorable clip of baby Romey happily sporting her brand-new cream-colored beanie, which matched the rest of her travel outfit perfectly.
“It was Romey’s first flight, and obviously we were a little bit nervous,” Levine shared about the event with Good Morning America on Thursday.
“I was sitting in the aisle and the baby was in the aisle, she was gazing at me the entire flight,” Meegan Rubin, the expert knitter, additionally shared with the morning show. “I had the same color yarn as her little outfit. I couldn’t help it. I was like, this baby is getting something because she’s too cute.”
Right as the plane landed, Rubin presented baby Romey with the thoughtful gift.
“Everyone around us started clapping, a couple of people noticed what she was doing and noticed that she was crocheting something for Romey, everyone was like, ‘I was watching her, it was amazing,’” Jake Levine, Kelly’s husband, added. “It was a really sweet thing that Meegan did for her.”
As for what’s next, Rubin shared with Good Morning America that she plans to make Romey a matching dress.”
The best part? You can keep following Rubin’s fantastic crochet work on Instagram with her account, @CrochetObey, which features all her latest creations. And yes, it features adorable photos of Romey, too.
