EASY Watermelon Baby Booties Knitting Pattern

    For many families Spring and Summer bring the addition of new little ones. Hand knit baby booties are a thoughtful gift, but if you’re a newbie knitter, they can be difficult to make. This pattern is knit flat and then seamed when finished. There’s no double point needles, or heel shaping- yay!!!  To make these booties even cuter (and perfect for Summer!) I created a watermelon print using different colors of yarn. The “seeds” are stitched on after the bootie is completed using a yarn needle. This Baby Booties Knitting Pattern is as easy as it comes and they make a great gift. Happy Knitting!

How to assemble the Baby Booties Knitting Pattern:

This is what the piece looks like when you are finished knitting. I sewed the “seeds” on using a yarn needle.

Fold the bootie over and sew the 2 sides of the bottom together.

Sew over the toes (do not sew the green part closed)

Sew around the front of the bootie. Turn right side out. Crochet a 12 inch chain using the white yarn. Insert through the holes to make the ties.
