These wispy little knit booties have a sweet shape, with a scalloped edge, and buttoning overlays to help keep them of baby’s kicking little feet. They are perfect with special outfits and dresses! And the best part, they are knit in only one piece without having to pick up a single stitch.

The pattern will result in booties size birth to 3 months.

You will need to know how to cast on stitches, knit stitches, knit two stitches together, make a stitch by knitting into the front and back of a stitch, yarn over, cast off, seam the finished work and darn in ends of the finished work – skill level intermediate. A pair, for an average skilled knitter, should take approximately three hours to complete.

The models were knit in Laines Fonty Super Angora in color 893. This yarn is 25g / 120m per skein, and made of 70% angora, 30% wool.
