These easy Knitted Baby Booties are a great project for beginners. I’ve been getting lots of requests for more knitted baby clothes and especially baby booties.
I love the folded fortune cookie-like design. Simply knit small swatches in the garter stitch, then quickly assemble the pieces into cute little moccasin baby shoes.
Keep reading to get all your materials, techniques, and free written pattern instructions to knit these adorable baby shoes easily on flat on straight needles. Check out my new Baby Booties Story, too!
Knitted Baby Booties make great gifts. Even if you don’t have any babies to give these to as gifts, but you think it would be a really fun knitting project, I definitely encourage you to give it a try. It’s a really quick knit and a super cute gift to have on hand. And trust me, these are a HUGE HIT at baby showers.
