Yes, and you should do so regularly to get the kitten used to being handled by people.
You should slide one hand under the kitten's chest and belly to lift (don't use the scruff of the neck) and place the kitten where you can pet it but all four of its feet are braced against something - your arm, your chest, your shoulder, your lap, whatever. Cats feel more secure when their feet are on a solid surface, which will make your kitten happier to be held and petted.

Can you carry a newborn kitten?
Well, it all depends on how new this newborn kitten is. If you're talking about just being born a few seconds ago, the answer is NO. A mother cat licks her newborn kitten to get it to start breathing. If you pick up a newborn kitten that's only a few minutes old, you're basically killing it. If the kitten is a few hours or a couple of days old, go ahead and pick it up, that is if you can. A mother cat is very defensive of her kittens. you may get scratched or bitten in the process.
