Remember how delightful it was to open up a brand new box of crayons? Now you can knit up a colourful pair of Crayon Booties and create some smiles!

Inspired by the look of classic crayons, this is a quick and easy baby bootie pattern, started like a toe-up sock, then seamlessly knitted in the round with directions for 5 sizes (newborn to 18 months). They have an inside ribbed cuff which makes them fit snugly. These sweet, colourful and fun little booties make perfect new baby, shower, or holiday gifts.
