This pattern was such a joy to bring back to life. It’s one my grandmother once used to lovingly knit baby booties for charity. Years later, my mother carefully re-wrote the pattern on the back of a Weet-Bix box — a little snapshot of making do and creating with what you had.
I rediscovered it while sorting through a stash of well-loved, handwritten patterns, each with its own story to tell. After many customers asked if the pattern was available, I knew it was time to gently revisit and rework the original, honouring its history while sharing it with a new generation of makers.
Whilst a pair of booties is not a unique piece of clothing, a hand knitted pair of booties that you have created yourself is Truly Unique!
Size: Newborn to 12 months
Yarn & Knitting Needles required: Note - the size of the booties can be adjusted by using different size needles & ply of yarn.
New Born to 6 months 4ply knitting yarn – 3.25mm knitting needles (finished foot length = approx 8cm)
6 – 12 months 8ply knitting yarn – 4mm knitting needles (finished foot length = approx 11cm)
You will also need: Yarn Needle for Sewing
Tension: as per the label on the yarn
