That's awesome, Rinoa! I wish I could crochet!
I love crafts and I've always done things like make paper dolls to play with (horrifying my parents when they've just spent a lot of money on toys and I prefer to play with scraps of paper). I can't wait to do crafts with a child. It's one of the major things I am looking forward to biggrin

KNITTED BABY SOCKS
THIS IS A KNITTING PATTERN
Materials:
For this size (toddler 4-1/2" from heel to toe), I used baby weight yarn; 1 skein (1.75 ozs.) made 2 pairs; size 4 straight knitting needles.
Cast on 41 sts. Work in k 1, p 1 ribbing for 30 rows.
Start heel: Knit 11 sts, turn, work in stockinette st (k 1 row, p 1 row) for 16 row, ending with a p row, turn.
Next row: K 2, k 2 tog, k 1, turn, sl 1, p 3, turn.
Next row: Purl.
Next row: K 3, k 2 tog, k 1, turn, sl 1, p 4, turn.
Next row: Purl.
Next row: K 4, k 2 tog, k 1, turn, sl 1, p 5, turn.
Next row: Purl.
Next row: K 5, k 2 tog, k 1 - 7 sts on needle.
Next row: Purl.
2-Needle Socks (continued) . . .
Using left needle, pick up 10 sts along side of heel (the trick to making this heel look good, is to pick up these sts along side evenly spaced & knit them very tight), knit them, then continue across 19 center (instep) sts. Work stockinette st on remaining 11 sts for 17 rows, ending with a knit row. Work this half of heel as follows:
Next row: P 2, p 2 tog, p 1, turn, sl 1, k 3, turn.
Next row: Knit.
Next row: P 3, p 2 tog, p 1, turn, sl 1, k 4, turn.
Next row: Knit.
Next row: P 4, p 2 tog, p 1, turn, sl 1, k 5, turn.
Next row: Knit.
Next row: P 5, p 2 tog, p 1 - 7 sts on needle.
Using left needle, pick up 10 sts along side of heel (the trick to making this heel look good, is to pick up these sts along side evenly spaced & purl them very tight), purl them, then continue purling across all sts.
Next row: K 15, k 2 tog, k 19, sl 1, k 1, pass sl st over (psso), k 15.
Next row: Purl.
Next row: K 14, k 2 tog, k 19, sl 1, k 1, psso, k 14.
Next row: Purl.
Next row: K 13, k 2 tog, k 19, sl 1, k 1, psso, k 13.
Next row: Purl.
Next row: K 12, k 2 tog, k 19, sl 1, k 1, psso, k 12.
Next row: Purl.
Next row: K 11, k 2 tog, k 19, sl 1, k 1, psso, k 11.
Next row: Purl.
Next row: K 10, k 2 tog, k 19, sl 1, k 1, psso, k 10.
Next row: Purl: 41 sts on needle.
2-Needle Socks (continued) . . .
Work even in stockinette st for 10 rows (or 2 inches shorter than desired foot length - from heel to toe) ending with a purl row.
Toe Shaping:
Next row: K 8, k 2 tog, k 2, sl 1, k 1, psso, k 13, k 2 tog, k 2, sl 1, k 1, psso, k 8.
Next row: Purl.
Next row: K 7, k 2 tog, k 2, sl 1, k 1, psso, k 11, k 2 tog, k 2, sl 1, k 1, psso, k 7.
Next row: Purl.
Next row: K 6, k 2 tog, k 2, sl 1, k 1, psso, k 9, k 2 tog, k 2, sl 1, k 1, psso, k 6.
Continue decreasing in same way, until 17 sts remain. Leaving sts on needle, cut yarn leaving short tail, then use a crochet hook to pull tail through rem sts & remove needle. Pull sts tightly, then pull tail through opposite beginning st and secure. I did it this way, so the toe doesn't have any bumps or uneven edge.
The trick to having a flat seam:
Using an iron, press edges flat, as knitted edges always have a tendency to curl under. Then I used a matching needle & thread to sew seam together, making sure that I just caught 1 strand of yarn from each edge, and not pulling extremely tight. This will keep your edge smooth & flat.
Using same needle & thread, sew any loose yarn ends in place, fold top of sock over, and you have a darling pair of sockies for a little one!
This pattern also works great for larger socks. You can make the ribbing longer, foot length longer, use a heavier yarn, larger needle, etc.

Baby's Hooded Bath Towel
THIS IS A KNITTING PATTERN
Materials:
Size 10 US needles (6mm)
5 x 100gm balls worsted weight Lilly Cream and Sugar 100% cotton
Gauge:
16sts and 26 rows to 10cm (4 inches) over garter st worked with Size 10 US needles
Size:
31" (77.5cm) x 27" (67.5cm) (excluding the hood)
Towel Body:
Cast on 100 stitches on #6 mm needles
Knit 200 rows in gater or seed stitches, cast off.
Hood:
For the hood, cast on 60sts and knit 5 rows in garter or seed st.
Knit 25 rows straight
Cast off 1 stitch at the end of the next 2 rows.
Repeat this every 5 rows until you have 40 stitches on your needle, cast off.
(Note from Deloris: I would change the pattern a little and cast off the hood at 44 stitches rather than 40)
Making Up:
Fold the hood in half vertically and sew the cast off edge together.
Fold the towel in half and mark the middle. Sew the cast on edge of the hood to the towel, matching the centre of the towel to the centre of the hood.
To finish your towel you can do some embrodery on it or crochet all around the towel and hood.
You'll have a softer result if you wash it (before you do the embroidery or crochet) with a special mild washing soap for babies or kind of "zero".
Addendum: Sent to GLBT-knit March 3rd 2000
I made a few corrections to a better fitting hood
Cast on 75 stitches
knit 5 rows in garter or seed stitch
After 30 rows, cast off 1 stitch at the end of every other row until you
have 45 on your needle, cast off.
(you can keep casting off one stitch until you have 4 left, then cast off)
then, fold this piece in half and sew the diagonal line and the top. Sew the bottom of the hood to the middle of the blanket top.

Yarns:
Anything Baby Sport and a fingering weight, Diana, Mousse, Canadiana, Unger or whatever one strand, two strands, or three or more.

RND 1: Begin at any corner, ch 1 and work 3 sc, sc all around with 3 sc in each corner.
RND 2: Sc in same sc, * ch 3, sk 1 sc, sc in next sc; rep from * along each side. Corner: (sc, ch 3, sc) in each corner sc. Join with sl st to beg ch. Do not turn.

Thread 1/2" or 5/8" ribbon down each side of afghan loosely. Tie knot in each corner. Take different colors of 1/16" or 1/8" ribbon and make a bow but do not tie. Place in center of knot and tie together the two ends of wider ribbon.
Alternative Edge:
RND 1: Begin at any corner, Ch 1 and work 3 sc, sc all around.
