A new baby, little Kiptyn Robert, was born in our family, to my brother and sister-in-law, on January 12, my father’s 79th birthday!

  It had been almost 13 years since my daughter was born and she is the youngest granddaughter, so it was great fun anticipating and welcoming the birth of this little guy!

Neither my son, or husband, or daughter wanted to hold him, in case he might break!

Grammy insisted.

So I got inspired to make baby booties and hats, with alpaca yarn, I can’t imagine anything nicer for a baby to wear!


They are so soft and I know they’ll be so very warm on some baby’s little feet and head! 
 

I had fun choosing colors and found I like the non-typical baby colors.
 
Some will work for either a boy or a girl.
 
 
Some are strictly for girls, with a dainty scalloped edge and flower!
 

The FREE Crochet Pattern for these darling booties is found on the Lion Brand website, click Easy Booties.  The hat pattern is Loving Georgia Lee Tyler designed by: Christine Marie Way Tyler & John Wesley Tyler
Crochet Head Hugger 
I have used this pattern over and over for many, many different kinds of hats.
 
Be sure to see our selection of Alpaca Hats, so soft and warm!
 
Speaking of babies, this is Cub Scout and Masterpiece and Sultan to the rear, three of our alpaca boys born last Fall!
