I designed these little Baby Booties with Classic traditional Aran knitting in mind - I used to be an aran knitter in Ireland many years ago, so hoping to shed the luck of the Irish to new tiny feet in the world with these little cuties!

I designed the booties with double turn-down cuffs for comfort, luxury and security - they’re darn difficult to kick off!

The pattern is a fully illustrated tutorial with color photos to show you each stage from start to finish. As such it is suitable for improving beginners keen to try out their basic cabling.
The booties are knitted FLAT on regular, straight needles, and are made in one piece so there is minimal sewing - great for improving beginners keen to try some simple cabling.

Basic stitches are knit and purl, and cable 4 back/right .

The pattern is written for 2 sizes - 0-6 months and 6-12 months.

American English Knitting terms used throughout and everything is explained in plain English.

To make the Booties you need:-

50 grams of dk yarn PLEASE NOTE: The yarn I used is actually classed as ‘aran’ or 10 ply but is VERY fine for this category and knits as dk. Choose a quality yarn if you want the booties to look great - merino wool, cashmere or alpaca are perfect, as is a wool silk mix.
1 x pair of straight, regular knitting needles, US size 5 (3.75mm), and 1 blunt end needle to sew the seam and tidy all those loose ends away.

New Cable Beanie Hat to match knitting pattern is now available in my ravelry store.
