For a unique baby shower gift, try this simple cap and booties layette set by St. Clement’s Daughter for thestitchinmommy.com. The cap takes me about an hour and a half to make, and the booties take about an hour. Because the patterns are quick and easy, it’s a great last-minute project for a newborn or preemie. Try different colors from traditional pink and blue, such as the Soft Red and Aqua here, for a change!

The hat is about 5 in. from crown to tip of edging; 12-in. circumference at brim when not stretched; up to 16½-in. circumference when stretched. The booties are about 3 ½ in. long. Your gauge and hook size will alter the measurements easily; precise gauge is not essential.
