Imagine my excitement when I managed to knit one bootie in just over an hour! Sadly, my tennis elbow didn’t let me finish the pair that night, but I promise to upload a snapshot right here once they’re done.
Let’s Dive Right Into Knitting Those Baby Booties:
The size of the booties might vary a smidge based on your yarn choice. However, this pattern is perfect for babies aged 3 to 6 months. It’s knitted in stocking stitch, making it a fantastic pick for those just diving into the world of knitting.
Special Techniques: In this pattern, you’ll occasionally need to knit both front and back in a single stitch. Confused? Here’s a helpful video to guide you! Also, you might come across the abbreviation SKPO (slip, knit pass over) – it’s just a fancy way of decreasing. This technique gives your booties the cute shoe shape. And yes, there’s a video for that too!
What You’ll Need:
- 1 x 50 g ball of yarn in your favorite color
- 1 x 4 mm knitting needles
- 2 x adorable buttons
