Summary: Quick-to-knit booties in a bulky wool, felted to 4” / 10 cm long.

Materials:

  • approximately 36 yds. of bulky weight yarn (yardage based on Brown Sheep Lamb’s Pride Bulky; other yarns may require different amounts to make the same size booties)
  • size US 10.5 / 6.55 mm double-pointed needles
  • 12” / 30 cm length of 3/4” / 2 cm wide ribbon to decorate

From Minnies: The felted booties are a snap to knit and transform themselves into really wearable booties after two washings in the machine. Tie on a checkered bow, and viola! An unbeatable welcome present when you’re out of time.
