Wicker basket full of baby bootie handmade knitted by an old lady down a back street in Sorrento Italy mixed pink blue pairs peg


Knitting baby booties can be a very difficult There are so many patterns! And how do you shape it properly so it fits that little foot? Explain the process of knitting a basic baby bootie in the hopes of laying the groundwork for more complicated patterns you might find elsewhere. These baby booties will be knit toe-up, and because seamless booties require double-pointed needles and a higher degree of knitting skill, these simple booties will have a seam that you will sew together. You'll have an adorable pair of booties in no time. Remember that you can play with colours. Try a multicolour yarn that will give you colourful, striped booties. If you know how to change yarn, try knitting striped bands into the cuff. Cut a tail of at least 3 in ( cm) when finishing off the project. Babies are prone to wiggling, and you don't want them to pull that thread out. Once you become comfortable with the basics of bootie knitting, you can look for more complex patterns. A nice, simple pattern for the cuff is the stockinette stitch, which is just alternating rows of knit and purl stitches. Knit one row across, then purl one row across; repeat. Some patterns say they are really easy to follow but then require all sorts of specifics in terms of materials, needles, tension squares, fancy stitches and so on. These booties can be made in any wool, other than really thick wool, and with any needles other than really massive ones. And you only need to know how to cast on, cast off and do basic knit stitches.
