These are not ordinary booties for ordinary babies! A beautiful gift.

This is the pattern to knit a set of four booties in Silk, Kid Mohair, Lambswool and nylon with co-ordinating ties and embellishments.

These utilise a gorgeous yarn from Japanese designer Noro who spins and dyes beautiful yarn. It’s spun and dyed by hand as much as possible so has a wonderful unique and rustic texture. The silk gives a beautiful luxurious texture and a lustre that shows off the colours. The lambswool and kid mohair offer soft and lightweight warmth. The nylon makes a stronger yarn so they will be hardwearing enough to service several babies.

Why four? Because a pair can be a pain - you can never find the second one when you need it in a hurry! With four to choose from there should always be a pair handy – a bonus for tired, busy parents. You can also mix and match the booties according to your mood!

Each one has a co-ordinating cord to help keep them on busy feet. And hand embroidered embellishment for that extra bit of bling. The soft knitted soles are good to allow non-walking babies to wriggle their toes and stretch their feet!

Two size covering approximately 3-9 months, give or take a few!

Shown here in Silk Garden Sock colour 304. Given the nature of the yarn no two sets could be identical.

Knitted in the round so there are no bulky seams to put pressure on delicate feet. Please note that the wool in these is just for the photos - these have knitted soles.

You will need:

1 x 100g skein of Noro Silk Garden Sock yarn (sufficient for two sets of four booties)
1 set of 3.25mm double pointed needles
1 stitch marker
1 wool needle for sewing up
tape measure
scissors

This pattern is professionally laid out and has colour photos. It is designed to be printed on A4 paper and folded to a convenient book mark size - easier to carry around with your project and takes up less space next to you on the sofa!
