Bon Booties

I used worsted yarn for these booties and they are very dense and sturdy. I am thinking that they may not stay on baby's feet as well as some of the other patterns but that can be overcome by wearing socks.

Once again, they knitted up very fast. I used the stockinette cuff instead of the ribbed one. I will probably do this one again with the ribs.

Hiking booties


Just a heads up: this is not a free pattern, but it is still worth the purchase. It has a rounder toe than some of the other patterns I've used. I used Caron Simply Soft yarn and I think these are my favorites.

Baby Tenny-runners



Little tennis shoes. I only made one of these so far, but I will be doing more. They knitted up very fast. And I have lots of scarp yarn.

Baby Hug Booties


This is a very simple pattern using small amounts of yarn in two colors. The blue one is knitted with smaller needles so it is a bit smaller than the pink one. 

The pattern is free on Ravelery.

And On to the Booties


After months of knitting baby hats for charity, I suddenly had an urge to start making booties. I first started a baby sweater and I do plan on finishing it, but it is sitting here beside me half done once the bootie-fairy hit me. Here is what I have made so far. I did not create any of these patterns, but they are all on Ravelry and I'll post the patterns over the next several days. 

The booties go fast; in fact, I made three pairs in one day. So stay tuned, and see close-ups of all the booties hot off my needles.

Baby Entrelac Cap


I am still on my baby hat kick. I tend to find a pattern I like and make it over and over again.  So searching through my patterns, I found this pattern for entrelac hats. It is sized for adults, but I used smaller needles and DK yarn so it would fit babies and children instead. The pattern (Ravelry link posted below) uses size 7 and 9 needles, but I used size 3 and 4. The hats are a little bigger than baby size, but I still like the effect. 

So, back to the needles.




Here is the pattern:
