What can be cuter than baby booties? There is just something about babies´ tiny little feet that make them so darn adorable. And knitting booties to keep those little toes warm is very satisfying, and quick!
Here are the ones I´ve made for my baby-to-be:
|
Before making any more, I will wait and see which gender my baby is really going to be (it looked like a girl in the ultra scan, but there have been surprises before too!). |
|
In the back is the outfit these booties were made to be worn with. |
|
This is a classical look for newborn baby boys, but works perfectly for girls also, when combined with a matching outfit. |
|
I´m in the making of a hat to this outfit, of the same yarn as the booties to complete the look. |
|
These would also go well for both girls and boys. It´s all about the color choice. |
|
Simple socks work equally well. I added a bow around the ankles to keep them in place, because babies are quick in kicking off any socks! |
Booties come in numerous different shapes and styles. You can choose your favorite according to your taste and skills. My skills in knitting are limited, and I don´t have much patience, so I chose these styles. It is the thought that counts!
You can find instructions to many different styles
here.
I have made these booties and socks for years to friends who have had babies. They make a lovely "Welcome to the world" -card when attached to a piece of cardboard and sent by mail! Handcrafted items are luxurious these days, and are highly appreciated. So don´t be too hard on judging your skills!
