Baby Knits - Booties

It's an exciting time for two of my very good friends, who are both expectant mommies. One, H, is expecting a little boy late this summer. Another, E, is expecting twins! I am so very excited for my friends, and anxiously looking forward to meeting my new baby friends!! I am using my new Ravelry membership extensively, while looking for baby knit and crochet projects. My first project was a set of booties, which I made with some of my Lily'n'cream yarn stash.



The color is "natural" (and may be a little too pink-ish for a baby boy), so I am going to work on a hat and incorporating some more obviously boy colors into it. The pattern is originally a Bernat creation. Pretty simple - the booties are knit in one piece, and a seam is sewn in the base, toe, and around the top of the booty.

  2. I love the booties! I look at them almost everyday! And I think the yarn is very neutral. You've inspired me to attempt a project on my own, we'll see how it goes. You might be getting another pattern and a bunch of yarn soon :-)
