I’ve been searching for a while for a quick, easy bootie pattern to knit for charity that uses up left over DK yarn, has built in ties, and doesn’t require picking up stitches. Pretty big ask! So, after some fruitless searching, I decided to get designing!

I love the idea of having an all-in-one bootie with ties, as tie-on bootie stay on wiggly toes much better. Also, with the ties joined to the bootie, there’s no worry about the ties coming loose and getting lost.

Each pair uses approximately 28 m of DK (light worsted weight) yarn (around 15 g).

If you have some spare time and some spare yarn, it would be great if you could make a pair or two for a local charity too!

Materials:
Needles: 4 mm

Yarn: DK (Light worsted weight) 28 m (alternatively, you could use 2 strands of 4 ply/sport/fingering weight yarn held together, or worsted weight yarn for slightly larger booties)
