This is the only thing I've ever knitted for a child, finished a week ago, thus perfectly punctual for our current theme. The theme announcement might have had something with to do with the timing, or perhaps it was the approaching winter. Anyway, it is not fancy (or particularly beautiful, let's be honest) but the ribbed collar suits the toddlers curls very nicely. It is based on Kim Cowl by Muki Crafts. I started with a provisional cast-on on the neck and finished with a crocheted ruffly edge for maximum stretch and it worked very well.

Lessons learned:

1. I dislike crocheting edges.
2. Think twice before taking a toddler to the yarn shop. Who could have known?

I made these hats for my twins. They didn't get to wear them long because the stitch pattern didn't stretch much but the hats made for adorable newborn photos.

Pattern

They're really just socks for adults but in oh so tiny. The little man's favorite color was green at the time and he still always took off his socks off everwhere. But not these babies! They were his favorite as long as they fit. They're made from acrylic iirc.
