How to Knit Baby Booties Step by Step
How to Knit Baby Booties Step by Step- Ideal for beginners! Knit these cute baby booties with this step-by-step tutorial. Great baby shower gifts!
A pair of baby booties make a great gift. There are tons of patterns available but most of them require double needles and complicated shaping. Not this knitting pattern! These easy knitted baby booties are worked on single point knitting needles using the garter (knit every row) stitch.
Techniques used in this pattern:
Cast on
Knit (Garter) stitch
M1 (make one stitch)
Pick up and knit
K2tog (knit 2 stitches together)
Bind off
I created a video to show you how to Make 1, transfer stitches to a stitch holder and how to pick up and knit stitches.
