Karen Alfke adapted these cuties from a
Swedish bootie pattern her mother used
when the kids were tiny. The ribbed cuff
and tie help them stay on even the most
active of little feet. The pattern is written
for your choice of three gauges, so you
can use just about any yarn you like!

Little ties slipped through a row
of eyelets keep these booties on,
even during a good kick!
We like the simplicity of twisted
cord or crocheted chain ties but
you can embellish them with
beautiful ribbons to bump up the
“awwww” factor at baby showers.

Whatever kind of ties you choose,
be sure they’re attached securely
for baby’s safety.
