Knit Baby Booties

I came across some adorable knit booties the other day but there was no pattern attached to the project listed in Ravelry. So I asked the maker if there was a pattern some where. She responded with the pattern and told me to have fun! I've completed two pairs in just a couple days. Last night she gave me permission to share the pattern. Now, I have altered it just a smidge. I changed the first K2tog and P2tog on the decrease rows to SSK and SSP. This allowed both side of the decrease to be more uniform.

Bind off and leave a long tail to sew up the back and bottom of the booties.


I will probably make a lot of these since they work so quick and use such a small amount of yarn. They are also quite stretchy! All the booties I make will be donated to the Promise House at the end of the year with the blankets I am working on!

  1. Those are adorable booties! I'm a crochet bootie person and have developed my own pattern. That's neat that you lived here in the PNW - where do you live now? I didn't see that info in your "About Me" area. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
