Make a “bootie-ful” bouquet of flowers with this “knit your own ending” baby bootie adventure! All booties start with the same sole, foot, instep, and cuff, then you choose the petal style and colour to create your own custom flower booties. Do you want to make Poinsettias? Daisies? Forget-Me-Nots? Poppies? Something you’ve made up yourself? The possibilities are endless …

Bouquet Booties are knitted in the round and have an inside ribbed cuff that makes them fit snugly on busy baby feet without the need for ties. They make perfect new baby, shower, birthday, or holiday gifts and are great for using up those beautiful sock yarn leftovers.
