Used Book in Good Condition
Let's see if I remember all the details...
The hippo was knitted with Red Heart Super Saver yarn I had sitting around from ages ago. The bear was knitted from Gala yarn I found at Big Lots. Both of them are from this book, which I found at the library: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/itty-bitty-toys.
It can also be bought on Amazon for $13. http://www.amazon.com/Itty-Bitty-Toys-Animals-Dolls-Playthings/dp/1579653766/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1376490707&sr=8-1&keywords=itty+bitty+toys
The socks were both made with Knit Picks fingering/sock weight yarn in self striping varieties. Both pairs are made to fit an 18-24 month old tot.
The pink/purple socks are the "Raindrop Socks" pattern. When picking up slipped stitches, I accidentally twisted them, but I think I like that way better than what the pattern calls for. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/raindrop-socks
The blue/green socks are basic ribbed socks. Here's the pattern, but it's not very descriptive, so I would not recommend it as a pattern if it's your first attempt or are new to sock making. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/toddler-top-down-ribbed-socks
The dishcloths are all made from varieties of Lily Sugar n' Cream yarn. For the two simple ones, here's what I did.
I simply cast on 4 stitches, K2, YO, K to end of row. Repeat row until 50 stitches.
Switched colors, then...
K1, K2Tog, YO, K2Tog, K to end of row. Repeat until I was back to 4 stitches and cast off.
Here's the pattern for the Dalek one: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/exfoliate-dalek-cloth.
Edit: forgot some pattern details.
