Monica Knits

Shilda has been busy knitting for all the new babies born and expected this year. She learned to knit socks with the Picot and Windmill socks pattern and began with a classic, white, cuff-down sock in fingering weight yarn. Shown in size 6-12 month and quickly knitted in fingering weight Peruvian wool, these socks feature all the design elements of an adult sock, but scaled down. In fact Shilda's next project is a matching pair of dad and son socks. Read more for pattern information and related links ....

Hop into spring with a parade of easter colors for baby! Knit all 3 sizes of this darling baby sock with a skein each of Palette^TM fingering weight, Peruvian Heighland wool yarn in spring green, baby chick and lady slipper colors. The cuff and toes are yellow, the heel green, and the sock body features all three colors in a spring garden medley.

These sweetheart head and wristbands were inspired by the colors of the spring blooming, heart-shaped dicentra (bleeding heart); cream, with dark and light pinks.

This high relief, textured hair band, is 2-3/8" wide, knitted flat and joined to form a ring using a Kitchener (grafting) stitch. Optionally, the band can be seamed at the center back to form the ring. The design features garter stitch borders, a center cable of light pink Xs and dark pink Os and slip stitch accents. The band stretches in both directions so it is forgiving, size wise.
The pattern is provided in written and charted formats for medium headband (19"-21") and wristband (6"-7") circumferences. Instructions for custom sizing are also included. Read more for gauge, yarn and other pattern information:

It's taken me a while to learn how to post pattern and project information on Ravelry. So that's why you haven't heard from me for a few days. Now that I've added two Knit Picks patterns: Whirligig Gloves and Two Toes Tubes (infant socks), I look forward to seeing your versions of these patterns posted on Ravelry as well.
