I just finished knitting my friend Carlita some socks and a hat for her new baby, haley Mae, born Nov. 8th. Of course the socks are too big and the hat is too small, but baby should be able to wear them both at some point, just maybe not together. You can see Aubry modeling them below. I'm using this blog as a knitting journal because I've never kept track of how i knit things and i end up starting a hat three times trying to get the sizing right. So i'm starting with these. The hat was made with Kersti, double stranded 44 sts cast on size 9 needles and it'll fit a newborn, so about a 14 inch head. itty bitty. Then I used superchunky cashmerino to do the body of the hat in seed stitch - my first attempt at that. I love it. The socks were also made with Kersti on size 5 needles and are way too big for a newborn. They will fit a 6 month old i'm guessing. But could be worn as shoes over a pair of socks.
