I recently made some itty bitty baby socks, hat, and booties for a friend's baby shower. I had to sit on my hands and wait to share them with you because she's on my Flickr friend's list. :p

Also, today, I made a miniature sock. I'm going to put a magnet on the back of it and start making all kinds of little miniature magnets for our fridge. It's a fun way to use up leftover sock yarn. This one is particularly special because the yarn is leftover from my very first pair of socks I made.

Details:

Hat - Cat-eared Baby Hat by Sophy T. O'Donnell
I used the pattern for the number of stitches to cast on and the decreases. I didn't add cat ears and I used a k2p2 ribbing instead of the seed stitch. I also didn't make the little button flap. I don't know if that's different enough from the original pattern, but I figured I should give credit anyhow.
The yarn is Regia Ringel Color #5047

Baby Socks - Hunca Munca by Beth LaPensee (website is loading a different page than I remember...I can't seem to get to it, but that's the link that Ravelry says the pattern is at).
Stockinette version. I used the same yarn from the baby hat for one pair and a ball of Regia Jacquard for the other.

Baby Booties - Saartje's Bootees by Saartje de Bruijn
There's a modified pattern here at Fleegle's blog for knitting it seamless. If I make this pattern again, I'll probably try it that way, because the seams were a bit annoying. Really cute, fun pattern, though. I left off the buttons and sewed the straps directly to the bootie.
The yarn is Lorna's Laces in Purple Club. I received half a ball of leftovers from someone for this project and only used less than half of what she gave me.

Mini Sock - Wee Tiny Sock Swap Sock by Emily Ivey
Yarn leftover from my first pair of socks.
