As a baby's bottom...

Item: One strand booties and lettstrikka babylue from Nøstebarn
Yarn: Drops silkealpakka
Grams: 44 g

The one strand baby booties are simply brilliant. Easy to knit, excellent for small scraps, easy to make larger or smaller by using different yarns and needles. The trickiest part is to sew together the bottom of the bootie with kitchener stitch, but you'll get the hang of it in the end. I always use the Purl Bee Kitchener Stitch tutorial, it's great!

The hat is also a good pattern, nice and easy. Next time I'll probably knit the last half of it in the round, I prefer to minimize the required sewing in the end.

The yarn is a silk alpaca blend, 70% alpaca and 30% mulberry silk, soft and silky as a baby's bottom.
