This pattern will fit a newborn - 1 year old by adjusting the needle size and yarn weight. It hardly takes any yarn to make them which means you can buy a really nice skein of yarn and get several pair or go with acrylic which makes a very economical handmade gift.

Babies are notorious for kicking off their socks/booties but the ties on these booties really keep them on the baby’s feet. When my children were babies, we lived in a very cold part of the country. I would put socks on their feet and then put the booties over the top, which helped to also keep their little socks on. When you took off their booties and socks, their little feet would be nice and warm. If the booties weren’t on during the night, their socks would come off and they would wake up with cold feet. Gotta love these booties, especially at night time.
