It will also introduce you to shaping, through increases and decreases.

I used lovely cotton from Rico design for the pattern in the colour sand, but any baby cotton will knit up well.

Baby Booties Pattern

Newborn booties are always fun to make and these baby soft booties will make you want to make more in a variety of colours.

This easy knitting pattern is great for beginners, as it just uses knit and purl stitches, it will also introduce you to shaping.

I have made many newborn baby booties using this pattern and they look awesome in any colour, I have even made the rolled top in a mustard colour with the body of the bootie in white.

Baby Booties

You can experiment with various colour combinations to go with your littles different outfits and rompers.

The baby slippers are knit flat on straight needles, which means they have to be seamed to finish.

I know many of you don’t like seaming, but it’s really easy and they always look neat when complete.

Remember to put in a little stitch if you want the rolled top to stay over.
