As much as I disliked the first soaker, that’s how much I love these tiny soakers.  When I was pregnant with Galen I knitted a tiny soaker.  I think I was around 6 months at the time and I remember joking that the baby would have to be born then for it to fit.  It was sssooooo very small!  But fit it did.  And while it only lasted for the first 2 or 3 weeks, it was really the only one that fit him properly during that time.  Màiri on the other hand; none of my newborn clothes fit her!  I actually gave them all away to a friend with a truly little one, thinking that any future babies of mine, were there to be any, would likely be just as large (Elijah was bigger even then Màiri).

Now here I am again thinking…well maybe it would be nice to have just a couple tiny baby things around, just in case.  What if this baby, like Galen, decides to surprise us all by coming a couple of weeks earlier then is usual for me and is therefore more petite?  Besides, it’s very difficult to resist making at least a few sweet teeny-tiny things.  I think I can be reasonable and not make a lot, but a few?  Pretty harmless, right?

Two little soakers, one with a girlish kind of slant and one a little boyish, though I would use both for either.  The pattern is Adaptation again.  This time I left the cuffs off.  I didn’t think they would be very necessary at this phase and this way I was able to make an entire soaker from one $2.49 ball of yarn.  Hard to beat that!  The yarn is Wool of the Andes Worsted by Knit Picks.  The color on the left is Victorian (so pretty!) and the one on the right is Cadet.
