Booties to Keep Tiny Footsies Warm

Babies are so adorable! When my kids were little I always loved dressing them up. Everything has to match! I would even do cute baby booties in a variety of colors to match their outfits! My favorite pattern is the one we have in this tutorial. It is the easy peasy “fortune cookie” baby booties!

Since babies have small tiny footsies, this project is going to be so easy and simple that you can finish one piece in an hour!

Ready? Get set…let's go!

Step 1. Making the strips

We will be making two strips of yarn- a small one and a wide one. Since we are making shoes, we will need a pair of each. The length and width will vary according to the size of the babies foot.

For this project, the smaller one will cast 6 stitches in 24 rows. Now, the wider one will need  26 stitches in 10 rows.

Step 2. Sew both strips

Now that you have your two strips done, make a T and sew them together just like the one shown in the picture above.

Step 3. Making those booties

Tack the corners together using your  tapestry needle. You'll notice that there will be holes on both sides. Simply pull the sewn corner forward. Hold it taut to form a baby booty and simply stitch around it to form the shoes. Repeat this process to the remaining pieces of knitted material.

 Tada….! Here's your cute little booty for your equally cute baby!
