With a tiny lacy wing motif and fairy wings added to the heel, these baby fairy shoes are made in 3 sizes.
Knitted flat on two needles using DK/8 ply yarn, these are so quick and easy to make that they would be a good pattern for a last minute baby shower gift.

I used DK superwash wool but other soft wool-mix, cashmere or alpaca yarns would be fine too, though 100% cotton may be a bit heavy for the wings to sit up properly.

There are 3 sizes. Sole measurements (unstretched) are:
7 cms/2.75”, 8 cms/3.25 “, 9.5 cms/3.75”
This is approx amounts of DK/8 ply yarn needed for the 3 sizes:
30 (35, 40) gms; 60 (70, 80) m / 66 (77, 88) yds
