Saartje's bootie pattern, knit with 8 ply, and smaller needles to give a firm fabric.
I crocheted a small loop on the back of the opening, and added a removable tie that might help keep this slip on style from slipping off little feet.
From Zoe Mellor's 50 Baby Bootees to Knit. It has a moss (seed) stitch cuff and sole.
Not bad for a 50g ball of wool!
Before adding the straps to the slip-on pair - all from one ball of the Treliske organic merino (grown in NZ, undyed).
Slip on booties/slippers, from a Zoe Mellor book. They're knit (very quickly) in one piece of garter stitch, and then seamed.
A bag of tricks, waiting to happen. And the beginnings of a pair of herringbone booties!
A quick handmade card, using up some of my scrapbooking paper and embellishments.
Knitted in Cleckheaton Baby Cocoon.
