Have a little bit of spring magic!

Daffodil Booties are knitted completely in the round and seamlessly … at one point they’re knitted inside out! Have some fun with these though, as they’re fairly easy – you’re only knitting with one colour at a time & each bootie is knit in one piece. Make some happy and bright daffodils for a baby you know. Daffodil Booties make perfect birthday, shower, and holiday gifts.
