Sheep Baby Booties Pattern

The baby slippers pattern below has full instructions on how to knit the slippers and the ears, which makes it a great pattern for any beginners.

All you need to know is basic knitting knowledge including the knit and purl stitches and how to increase and decrease.

I have included a list of knitting abbreviations and instructions on how to make up the finished booties.

The pattern is meant for babies aged between 0-3 months / 3-6 months / 6-9 months.

Sheep Baby Slippers Pattern

The sheep baby slippers pattern is easy to follow, making the booties flat on straight needles and decreasing to shape.

The ears are knit separately and can be a little bit fiddly, as the yarn used is fluffy, making the stitches hard to see at times.

I was really happy with the way this pattern worked out and the booties just feel so soft.

Knitted Baby Booties

The pattern is great for any beginners who are learning how to knit, as it is a quick project and great for stash busting – any yarns you have leftover from other projects can be used up for baby slippers.

I have made baby slippers and baby socks using cotton and wool/acrylic blends.

Making Up

Before you start to sew the bootie together, stitch eyes/nose/mouth where you want with black or dark grey yarn.

Attach the ears – to the side of the head.

Weave in all ends along the bootie, not up the side, as this will cause a bumpy edge.

Join the heel and the foot with a flat seam.
