Giveaway: Quick Knits for Babies

May 4, 2015 by Sarah White 55 Comments

Congratulations to Michelle.

Now that royal baby Charlotte has arrived, it seems the whole world is a little baby crazy. Of course knitters are often baby crazy, and new little ones are always a great reason to do a bit of knitting.

This week I’m giving away two books that will help you knit some cute things for little ones on the double.

60 Quick Baby Knits and 60 Quick Knit Baby Essentials are both books with patterns for blankets, sweaters, hats and more for little ones. The first uses Cascade 220 Superwash, while the second uses Cascade Yarns Cherub.

These books offer great go-to patterns that are pretty quick to knit but still cute and great to give.

If you’d like a chance to win these books, leave a comment on this post before the end of the day Sunday, May 10. I’d love to know what you think of Charlotte’s name, or what you would name a baby if you had the chance. (Though I love my daughter’s name, I always wanted to have a Maya.)

Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing, and good luck.

Christmas Sock Knitting Patterns

Why should the fireplace get all the fun? Instead of knitting stockings this year, why not whip up a pair of Christmas themed socks? These Christmas sock knitting patterns are lots of fun to make and you can wear them to holiday gatherings for years to come.

For our friends in the southern part of the world, there are the Christmas in July socks from the Kiwi Lodge – Kylie (Ravelry link). These shorty socks are covered in Christmas trees and have bright pink heels and toes for a tropical feel. There’s also an option to make a longer sock if you celebrate somewhere it’s colder.

Twin Stitches Designs (Ravelry) has a fun pattern with mix and match colorwork motifs you can use to build your own cozy Christmas socks. From the sample socks I see Christmas puddings, trucks hauling trees, Santa belts, ornaments and a couple of different borders. There may be more patterns included but the listing doesn’t say. Make a pair that matches or use different motifs on each foot for extra holiday cheer.

If you want to stick to Christmas puddings on your holiday socks, check out this cute pattern from Stone Knits. These lovely socks feature a band of puddings around the leg and a bit of holly by the toes.

These vintage holiday light socks from Grey Owl Knits by Sarah are classic looking and lots of fun at the same time. I love this color combination but of course you can make your lights and stripes whatever colors you like or have on hand. They’re worked using stranded knitting.

And if you’d like even more of a mix of patterns for your socks, try Barbara Ceglédi’s Christmas Chaos socks, a free pattern on Ravelry. The pattern includes 25 little motifs you can choose from, ranging from snowflakes and Christmas trees to elf hats, reindeer and hearts.
