Are you expecting a baby, or is someone you know expecting a baby? Here's a great idea for an original and useful birth gift.
We'll give you all the explanations you need to knit baby booties easily.
Much easier than it looks, knitting baby booties in birth size is a project for all moms or beginners taking up knitting. On this model, we've used moss stitch and 2/2 rib stitch.
Stitches that are easy to knit when you're just starting out.
Take a look at our videos on knitting basics. Learning to knit has never been so easy! Mousse stitch, stockinette stitch, folding the stitches..., will be child's play!
For these baby booties, we've chosen a material like cotton, which is hypoallergenic and won't irritate baby's skin.
But you can also use our special layette yarns or wools like alpaca for winter.
Little wool or cotton booties are a classic baby gift, or a way to wait until you become a mother.
Have fun personalizing them with a little liberty cord, a little piece of wool or a button.
Note that we have glued the mini Renard wooden cabochons with fabric glue.
Because of the presence of these small elements, we advise you to use these slippers as decorations to avoid these small parts being ingested.
You'll need just one ball of yarn and a pair of needles. So get knitting and knit baby booties in birth size.
