MosterMoster Babysko

A sweet pair of hand-knitted baby booties with a classic ribbed texture and a comfortable, snug fit.

The MosterMoster Babysko are worked from the bottom up. The cuff is first worked in the round in 2 × 2 rib. The instep is then worked back and forth before the stitches are joined again and the bootie is completed in the round. The sole is knitted separately in garter stitch and sewn neatly to the bottom of the bootie.

A lovely small project for a new baby and a beautiful handmade gift.
