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.

Newborn Baby Booties for Your Little Girl or Boy

Yarn: Baby yarn of your choice, color of your choice for your little one or perfect gift for that next baby shower.

Needles: US 6 (4 mm) straight needles or circular needles

Abbreviations:

k(knit)

p(purl)

KFB (knit in front and back of same stitch, increase by 1)

K2tog (Knit two together, decrease by 1)

P2tog (purl two together, decrease by 1)

PM (place marker)

SM (slip marker)

BO (bind off)

Additional notes: I find it difficult to knit in really small spaces, especially to pick up stitches around a small area on straight needles. I prefer to use circular needles that gives me more control and less stretch out of shape. And when you get to the cuff if you are already using circular needles it will be really easy to go right into knitting in the round. When knitting in the round, I prefer to magic loop, but that is absolutely your choice. You could also use DPN’s or double pointed needles to knit in the round. Many knitters love this, again, it is up to your knitting preferences.
