Knitting Pattern for Ugg Style Baby Boots in beautiful Basket Weave Stitch with Fake Fur trim.

Cozy and warm, these booties are unique, and perfect for winter fun! They have an opening at the front so are easy to slip off and on without any fuss. They fasten with two little wooden toggles around the front of the ankle, so completely kick-off proof - these will definitely stay on baby’s foot!

The pattern is written for 3 sizes -
3-6 months, 6-9 months and 9-12 months.

This pattern is an illustrated photo tutorial written in English. Instructions include a full tutorial with photos showing you how to do the basket stitch, which is gorgeous, and very easy with practice. The Level of difficulty is intermediate - you need to be confident with plain and purl, slipping stitches, and doing basic increases and decreases. You also need to be used to reading knitting patterns and following abbreviated instructions. All of the finishing involved is fully illustrated with color photos so even if you’ve never done anything like this before you can achieve stunning results.

The booties are made with light worsted (UK light aran) wool and straight knitting needles size 5.5mm (US 9).
Please pay attention to the gauge/tension - To get it right you may need to use different size needles.
