It was love at first sight when I found this Sock Monkey Hat Pattern. I just knew I had to make it. My sister just had a baby on Jan. 3rd so little Emily was the perfect excuse to make this hat. Up this this point I'd never made a hat before so I was a little worried but I figured since I can rock the amigurumi with the dragons and such I can totally to this. I was right. The pattern was so well written. There were pictures and it was so easy! All told it took me a few hours to make while watching Netflix.

| Seriously, could this be any more cute? |

| What baby gift would be complete without booties? I'd never tried booties either but I found this Simple Crossover booties pattern and thought I'd give it a try. The pattern says beginner and it was super fast and the easiest crochet thing I've ever made. |

| Here's the hat and booties together. Don't they just make you want to find the nearest newborn and accessorize? |

| Since I don't have a newborn of my own right now I had to substitute "big baby" (that's what Amelia calls her, none of her babies have names). Amelia - my nearly three year-old - loved that her baby got a photo shoot and was teeling her to smile and look cute! I loved it. When my sister gets the package I will have to have her take pictures with a real baby. |
That is the cutest thing ever!
