Desert boots - they’re everywhere at the moment, and don’t we just love ‘em! A great design classic and never out of style. Now the tiniest member of your family can be just as cool as mum, dad or older siblings and have their own pair. Stretchy and cosy, they tie on and look great on either a boy or a girl. Pictured in fashionable, cool cotton demin yarn with contrasting laces for extra authenticity, or why not try a contrast sole. Can also be knitted and felted, in wool for when it’s a little colder. Shown also in a versatile neutral Shetland yarn.
They knit-up one piece, apart from the laces, with a single seam to stitch up. There’s a small amount of shaping to follow but they are easy and super-quick to make.
Makes a great little gift to celebrate the birth of a new baby, and will be appreciated and used…. I looked all over for a pattern like this when my daughter was 3 months old and couldn’t find one - so I made my own.
They take only a small amount of yarn so it’s a good way of using up those little leftover oddments.
