Baby Pattern using baby alpaca

hi- i am in the middle of doing a baby blanket in organic cotton for my soon to be here niece. i would also like to make something using baby alpaca b/c it is so soft. does anyone have any pattern suggesgtions for a beginner using baby alpaca?

Do you have any idea what you want to make? - blanket, sweater, hat, booties, socks?

i’d love to do any one of those things. i think a blanket would be great in the baby alpaca. i’d love to do a sweater and booties or a hat but i’m very confused by the patterns for booties. i have circular needles but have no idea how to do things “in the round.” if anyone could point me to some guidance that would be great.

There are lots of patterns to chose from here:
