It’s time to shake those holiday bells and booties!

These look complicated, but don’t worry – each bootie is knit in one piece, you’re only working with one colour at a time, and the bells are attached as you go. You can work 4x4 row stripes, or 4x2 row stripes. You can even knit bobbles instead of attaching bells if you prefer. Jingle Bells Booties make perfect new baby, shower, birthday, or holiday gifts. They are perfect for using up all those lovely sock yarn leftovers!
