After a lot of googling on knitted baby booties, sports shoes, Nike, Converse, All stars ;) etc. I didn’t find any pictures or patterns to my liking so I designed these sneakers myself. I think it’s important that baby booties are comfortable and fit well. A real lacing is hard and makes the bootie less pretty. I made a fake lace on the instep. The loop around babies ankle ensures that your baby can’t kick out these socks. The cuff makes the booties warm and comfortable.

From 1 ball in color and 1 ball in white you can knit 4 socks, so 2 pairs. If you want a dark line along the sole, choose a third color (usually black).
