The Yarn I Used To Knit The Bunny Booties

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

There are so many good DK (double knitting) yarns out there to choose from, so you can make them in any yarn or color combo you like!

Lion Brand, Sublime Yarns, and Debbie Bliss also have a great range of colors to choose from.

When choosing yarn for baby items, you have to consider the baby’s delicate new skin.

Cotton is soft and breathable, so it is an excellent choice for baby items.

It’s easy to care for and can withstand frequent machine wash.

How Do You Measure A Baby’s Feet For Knitted Slippers?

You can always measure the baby’s feet to ensure you have an exact match.

To measure a baby’s small feet for knitted slippers, first, ensure the baby is relaxed and not wiggling too much.

Use a soft measuring tape or a piece of string and a ruler.

Place the tape or string at the back of the heel and gently guide it to the tip of the longest toe, usually the big toe.

Take note of heel-to-toe length measurements in inches or centimeters.

Repeat the process for the other sole, as there may be slight differences in size.

To ensure a comfortable fit, add a little extra length (about 1/4 to 1/2 inch or 0.5 to 1.3 cm) to the measured size.

This allows room for growth and movement, ensuring the knitted slippers snugly and securely fit the baby’s feet for warmth and coziness.
