Knitted Cuffed Baby Booties An Original Knitting Pattern
Knitted cuffed baby booties are a great asset in your knitting arsenal. I have been knitting baby booties for a long time. They are small, great take along projects, which I love, and they are quick to complete. There are a ton of great patterns out there but I wanted a couple specific things in my pattern.
I have knit many different baby booties patterns and gifted them and frequently the same complaint comes back. The booties won’t stay on. So this pattern is my solution to that problem. I wanted the soul to be oblong, soft and helps to keep baby’s foot in the shoe, kind of holds on at toes and heels. I also wanted the toe to be rounded in a fan shape. Same idea, cling to baby’s foot so the bootie stays on, Then I wanted a deep clingy edge and cuff, causing it to snug up around the ankle. This bootie is going to stay put.

I have made it downloadable for you so you can have your own take along project. And I have given you video assist to make sure you can complete your project. I really do hope you enjoy my take on this really cute bootie pattern.
