Stay-on Baby Booties

Booties are one of my favourite items to knit for new babies.  Shortly, after  Tiny Human 1 was born however, I realized that my gift of choice may not have been as practical as I had intended.  The adorable little booties I knit for Tiny Human 1 seemed to have the uncanny ability to fall off her feet at the worst possible times.  Then I found the pattern for  “Christine’s baby booties” I prefer to use sock yarn for tiny babies and worst weight for bigger babies.  Instead of using ribbons for the ties, I  knit 12″ long i-cord. The handy little ties guarantee that the booties will stay where they belong, on those cute little toes. Definitely not a project for a beginner knitter but knit up extremely fast once you have a couple of pairs under your belt.
