Make a sweet pair of bunny slippers for your baby this Easter.

This pattern is fairly easy, with the booties and ears knit flat and then seamed.

They also knit up fairly quickly, so if you have an afternoon spare one weekend, you can make them in around 3-4 hours, while watching your current series for a bit of knitflixing!

Rabbit Slippers

This pattern is great for beginners as it uses basic knitting stitches – knit and purl, while also introducing you to increasing and decreasing to shape.

I have included a list of knitting abbreviations at the end of the post and instructions on how to make up the finished product.

They are similar to another pattern I have for bunny booties, but this pattern can be made in 3 different sizes.

Baby Booties

The baby booties have 3 sizes – 0-3 months, 3-6 months and 6-9 months.

Knit with a double knit yarn, the booties are soft and with the ribbed cuff should stay on baby’s feet.

If you would like to see a pattern similar please take a look at these knitted baby booties.

Baby Bunny Slippers

I have made the baby slippers using Sirdar Snuggly double knitting yarn in white (and a little pink for the ears).

There are so many good DK (double knit) yarns out there to choose from, so you could make in any yarn or colour combo you like!

Lion Brand, Sublime yarns and Debbie Bliss also have a great range to choose from, in a range of colours.

Bunny Rabbit Slippers

As you can see in the photo below, the slippers are seamed from the back through to the bottom of the sole.

The bottom section of the foot is knit in garter stitch, while the rest of the bootie is knit in stocking stitch.

The ears are both knit in stocking stitch and then attached after the bootie has been seamed.

Easter Bunny Slippers

The free knitting pattern for baby booties on two needles is easy to follow, making each slipper flat and seaming.

The ears can be adapted to your own specifications – making them shorter or longer.

You can also experiment with the eyes and nose, adding a smile, closed eyes or some pink to the nose.

Baby Knitting

If you want to make more items for baby, take a look at my baby knitting pattern library, where there are many patterns to choose from.

Including hats, sweaters, cardigans and more baby bootie patterns.

You can also make a matching Easter bunny hat with a free pattern available to make in three sizes.

Making Up >

Stitch the eyes, nose and mouth into place before you seam the bootie.
Weave in all ends along the work, not up to the side, as this will cause a bumpy edge.
Lay work out and gently steam.
Join the heel and the foot with a flat seam.
Stitch the ears into place, one on either side of the bootie.
