1 skein of delicate yarn and (less than) 1 day is all you need to knit these quick baby booties (or boots) for your special little one. No buttons, no sewing (except hiding yarn ends), and no seams. The best part is that you can use up your one skein stash.

First, we’ll knit the sole. Then we’ll work on the sides and top part of the toes. Finally, we’ll finish it up with the frilly ruffled top.

1-2-3 and done!

Add to cart and cast on :)
