Show me that booty!



These booties are cheap, easy, quick gifts for your expectant friends and cowrkers. And everyone always oohs and aahs over them.

This pattern is from one of the Leisure Arts books they sell at Michaels and Joannes, called "Knit One for Baby!" It's part of a layette set. In retrospect I don't actually know why I bought this book, but for a while there I was making a lot of baby clothes and blankets despite not knowing anyone who was expecting. A friend saw them and had me make a pair for his size 13 feet. I wish I had photos.

These booties were super quick. I only knit them on public transportation (which I've been on waay too much lately). The entire set of 6 took about a week. They were all made out of leftovers (from the gloves and some yarn that Kati gave me. These are two needle booties made on 2s and 3s, and I wouldn't do them on public transit again. Straights poke holes in plastic knitting bags and tend to fall in bad places.

These are knit out of some Lionbrand acryllic (white) and Patons Kroy (jade & pink).
