I spent some time last week knitting up a couple of baby gifts. I don’t think the recipient reads this blog but, just in case, I’m not going to tell you who they are for. I will, however, show them to you. They’re just too adorable!
First up, socks:
The yarn is Socks That Rock lightweight, colorway Titania from the 2007 Rockin’ Sock Club. The pattern is Baby Cable Rib from Charlene Schurch’s Sensational Knitted Socks. I cast on 32 stitches on size 1 needles and they make a very nice baby sized sock.
Second up, a hat:
I just adore this little hat and it was as simple as can be. I cast on 80 stitches and just knit around and around and around until it was 3 inches. Then I decreased evenly and called it a day. I think it took less than 2 hours to knit. Talk about instant gratification!
I hope the mom-to-be is as happy with them as I am.
Kathy Said,
So cute! Sadly, my renewed knitting bug didn’t kick in until after my kids were bigger.
Cheryl Said,
Those little socks are so cute. I have some nice sock yarn that I’ll never make socks from, maybe i should use it for baby hats too.
Dave Daniels Said,
Those little socks are just TOO cute. I’ve always been a sucker for those. The STR is a nice colorway. (Note to self: Check which colors I have, and MAKE something.)
Robin in VA Said,
How adorable!! I’m sure she’ll be elated!!
Kim Said,
Oh super cute!! I soooo want to be a sock knitter! Did you take a class or are you self taught? I’ve only ever knittied dishrags! Is there any hope for me?

Who wouldn’t be happy with those! They’re adorable. Lucky baby
Sara Said,
That is such a cool idea…a cute pair of socks and hat…and a very happy recipient cause you know they are going to love them. I really like the idea – simply because there is always someone having a little one – but sometimes there isn’t a lot of time to get things done…
Kathode Ray Tube Said,
They’re lovely and so is the colorway!
Cheryl S. Said,

The baby’s already reading?! Wow! What a smart kid. And super cute knits.

Too cute. Love the yarn – I am going to go and look at that again! I didn’t realize how lovely that colorway was.
Teyani Said,
They are so sweet.
I just love knitting baby things
Laura Said,
Precious! Isn’t it fun to make such small things – instant gratification PLUS they’re adorable and useful too. So perfect.
Love your Noro scarf too – doesn’t it seem like it takes ten times as long to make a scarf than a sweater sometimes? heh I’ve been trying to get a collection of scarfs the whole family can use but for some reason I’m the only one wearing them? Hmm. Good thing I like them all.
Kim Said,
Priceless!!
PaulaB Said,
Baby knits are always too cute! (PS have you seen the YouTube “Medieval Helpdesk”? Any library worker will get a kick!)
Sunflowerfairy Said,
Those are the most adorable wee things ever!
It’s amazing that the knits are that small and someone is going to fit into them soon. I’ve had a kid, and I’m still amazed at that.
~Kristie Said,
That’s on lucky baby!! They are perfect Carole.
Bookish Wendy Said,
Those socks kill me with the cuteness!
