Baby stuff for a co-worker's baby. I don't know his wife, but it's their third child and I like to knit baby stuff. The baby is due ... well, I don't really know. July was five months pregnant, so four months plus July....anyone? Anyway, the hat is alpaca and the socks are a blend of superwash Cascade and maybe acrylic (the multi-colored part). The socks can be worn over shoes now, and then as socks later. It's easier to do it that way, than to try to figure out how small a newborn's feet are ...
Molly Cat reminds you to stop by Tamis Amis for Finished Object Friday!
Nice hat. Nice socks. Lucky friend and lucky baby!
ReplyDeleteI love baby knitting, I really either need more friends that are going to have babies, or encourage the ones I do have to have more. Love the hat and the socks!
ReplyDeleteCute FO's, how sweet of you to make them for the new baby:)
ReplyDeleteLove the socks. As far as I can figure July + four months = soonish. And you've reminded me that I'd better get moving on some baby socks for pregnant friends :)
ReplyDeleteThe socks are lovely! I think it's wise to knit things a bitt bigger than baby size. The babies grow so quickly.
ReplyDeleteVery nice FOs. I think I want to make those socks !
ReplyDeleteHooray for FOs! I love the little hat. I'm always amazed that those tiny heads can fit in the hats.
ReplyDeleteLovely socks! And the cat too.
