Here is a pattern for easy-to-knit baby booties that I created for a charity project. This pattern was inspired by Bev’s Stay-on Knit Booties.

These booties are knit on straight needles with yarn made with 100% corn fiber which is quite soft for baby’s tender little toes. You can easily substitute it with any type of sport weight yarn.

Notes:
Booties are knit on straight needles in one piece and then seamed in the front and back. The finished bootie measures approx. 3.5″ from toe to heel.

Supplies:
-Kollage Corntastic (less than one skein). This is sport weight yarn.

-Size US 6 straight needles

-Tapestry needle for seams

To knit the booties:

Cast on 32 stitches.

Rows 1 – 15: Work seed stitch for 15 rows.

Row 16: Bind off 6 stitches knit-wise and then knit to the end of the row. (26 stitches)

Row 17: Bind off 6 stitches purl-wise and then purl to the end of the row. (20 stitches)

Row 18 – 23: Continue working stockinette stitch for 6 rows.

Row 24: Knit two together across the row. (10 stitches)

Row 25: Purl.

Row 26: Knit two together across the row. (5 stitches)

Slip the remaining 5 stitches off the knitting needle and on to the tapestry needle. Pull the yarn through the stitches, tightening the toe.

Sew the front and back seams using mattress stitch.
