How totally adorable is this? I think a newborn would be able to wear these for no more than a couple of weeks, they are so tiny. But why be reasonable and knit bigger ones? These are so quick and easy, you could knit one custom-sized pair every week.
Most of you already know this pattern, I’m sure, but if not, the added bonus is that it’s completely free and readily available here.
These are being promptly shipped to my friend’s brand new little girl, Léonie, who was born 3 weeks ago… I hope they will fit her!
Pattern: Saartje’s Booties (free pattern)
Yarn: Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran (Denim and Mauve), leftovers from various projects. Very little yarn was needed, a 3-4 yards maybe
Needles: US 2
Time to knit: a couple of hours while watching TV
Buttons: translucent white from Joann’s
Too cute for words!! Love the color combo also

Thank you so much Gem, I would love to be able to take credit for these booties but the pattern isn’t mine! It’s by Saartje, whose blog I linked to in this post… I hope you enjoy knitting them! It’s a great pattern.
Hyah Thanks for the reply! How are you? Well then you have great taste for blogging about them! lol.
