Charity Pattern - Easy Baby Booties
Patons Powder Puff Wool
4mm needles
Ribbon
Yarn Needle
My mother (Rita) gave me this pattern as a "Cant Fail Pattern"
I am useless at knitting due to lack of practice.
It took me 1 hour to make one bootie so they make up fast (even faster if your not a beginner)
Rita is in the process of knitting heaps for the local hospital. I am still yet to knit my second bootie as I got side tracked.
Cast on 20 sts
Garter stitch 10 Rows
Row 11, cast off 4 stitches continue to knit. (16sts)
Row 12, cast off 4 stitches continue to knit (12sts)
Garter stitch 6 Rows
Row 19, K2 tog to end.
Row 20 K2 tog to end.
Thread Yarn Through remaining stitches and draw together and fasten off.
Sew the seams together and thread through ribbon to form the laces. Leave 1/2 an inch at the top of the front seam to allow the foot to slip in easily.

I continued like this each row till i had 3 sttches left
Then pulled wool through three stitches and pulled tight leaving enough wool to thread needle and stitch seam
Then stitch heal side seam
I'm new to to knitting and I've been looking everywhere for an easy bootie pattern that doesnt involve purling a all kinds of different things. This sounds so easy and I'm going to try it tonight! THANK YOU:)
Adorable!
Mine was tiny, it wouldn't even fit a small stuffed pg tips monkey? does any body know what i did wrong, I only made 1 peice and sew it togther, but i would really like to try this again because it is a brilliant pattern :) x
LOVE THIS! Great project, quick enough to complete even for a beginner knitter! You can be sure I'll be making more. Thanks!

hi forgot to add that you can use normal double knitting wool for these. a snowflake wool would make a fluffy pair. however double knit looks great and you could make absolutely loads for about 1.50 a 100gram ball. c
double the sts to 40 and knit 20 rows instead of 10 then continue as normal(same needle size) and they come out perfect. lovely shape. if you follow original instructions get small ones to fit small doll.
Looks really cute!! Would it come smaller if I used 4.5 mm needles (size 7) with Redheart blue yarn (size 4 medium worsted yarn)? I want this to fit a newborn :)
Thank you!

LOVE THIS PATTERN - JUST WHAT i NEEDED!
what age range are the booties for?
0-3 months?
3-6 months?
etc
Out of all the patterns I have looked at, this one seems to be the best one. infact, its the only one that looks like its going to actually work. FINALLY! Some one who KNOWS what there doing here! Thank You Much!!!
This just what I have been looking for. My mother used it and I can make them now. Thank you very much.
brill I couldn't stop adding to my colection
this a great craft luved it!
very good, but turns out small
Love this pattern. Was in a book I had, and used it many times until I lost book. For those questions: Garter stitch means knit every stich of every row. You can use any type of yarn the suggested needle size for that yarn.
I have only been knitting for a week and managed this pattern easily. I used 5mm needles and increased the size- cast on 28 stitches, knit 12 rows, cast off 6 each side then knit 8 rows.
all right but they come out too small are you sure they are not for premature babies? nice though!
This patten seems easy! yay! im no good with abreviations or complicated patterns. Ive only made 2 pars of mittens and a bunch of scarves...
these are soooo cute, my son is due in dec, and even with my rubbish knitting i can make these. any mitts to go with them?
wow i must be a really tight knitter i used size 6.5 mm needles and the suggested yarn but they would be lucky to fit a newborn but they are still absolutely adorable i just found out im pregnant and once i tweak the pattern a little itll be perfect
I made a bootie with Red Heart Dark Blue yarn. Instead of Gstitch, I used ribbing. Super cute and super easy. Siblings say they love it. Its great for my cousins new babies. Took me 30 min for 1 bootie.
Excellent!
Powder puff wool is a "patons" brand wool. Wool of similar thickness can be used so as "cotton candy" etc
Where are you finding the "powder puff" wool? Can't find it anywhere! Help!
Love the booties. I can't tell from the picture if the front seam is sewn all the way to the top or not. Please reply, zimmerpc@msn.com
Very easy. The yarn is so soft. I liked it so much I made a hat to go with it as well. Thanks for the pattern.

Oh my goodness. I just started knitting a few days ago and I'm wirking on my second bootie now!
These booties are so easy to make and they're so adorable! They also let fast learner beginner's egos grow!
Quick, easy, and very cute.
Different Wool may give you a different gauge which will alter the size of the booties slightly. Knit it up and check it out
I WOULD LOVE TO KNIT
