Bowties? Bow ties? Bows and ties? However you like to think of them, these adorable little booties are a fast and simple way to dress up little baby feet.

The booties are knitted in the round, starting like a toe-up sock. The ties are knitted right on to the cuff, with the bows knitted flat and inserted through the ties at the end. They also have an inside ribbed cuff that helps them stay snugly on busy baby feet. Bow Tie Booties make perfect new baby, shower, birthday, or holiday gifts and are fantastic for making use of those lovely sock yarn leftovers.
