Baby Shower Gifts

There are three pregnant women at work, all due in March. There was a baby shower for them a few weeks ago. I knitted these items for their sons (all three are expecting boys!).

rows 6-7 yellow

hat, made with Sugar n' Creme Cool Breeze Ombre

Set 2: Red, Green, and Blue
socks, made with Sugar 'n Cream yarn
loom knit on blue Knifty Knitter loom
flat panel e-wrap stitch on 12 pegs, 2 strands of yarn
rows 1-2 red
row 3 blue
row 4 red
row 5 blue
rows 6-18* main color red, see pattern below

Peg

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Row 10 r r r r r B r r r r
Row 11 r r r r B B B r r r
Row 12 r r r B B B B B r r
Row 13 r r r r B B B r r r
Row 14 r r r r r B r r r r

I used 12 pegs, but I only included the inside 10 pegs in the pattern. The other two pegs are still used for these rows, but it was easier not to list them in the pattern because making flat panels on round looms requires only wrapping the outside pegs for some rows.
