Pom-pom booties
Do you like the booties we're featuring today? They are very easy and quick to make. For this project, we've chosen Caricia Sport wool, soft and warm, so your baby's feet will always be toasty.
YOU WILL NEED:
- Caricia Sport yarn Col 043 and Caricia Classic Col 110.
- Knitting needles size 3.
- Tapestry needle.
- 2 cardboard circles.
- Scissors.
STITCHES USED:
- Garter stitch: g. st. (see tutorial g. st.)
HOW TO MAKE THE BOOTIES:
Cast on 25 sts and knit in g. st. for 32 rows.
On the 32nd row, decrease as follows: *knit 2 stitches together across the entire row*. Repeat on the next row. On the following row, pick up all stitches with the tapestry needle, pull tightly to gather, and fasten.
Continue sewing both sides, leaving a gap for the foot, thus forming the shoe.
Pom-pom
To make the Pom-Pom: Cut 2 cardboard circles 6 cm in diameter and make a 2 cm diameter hole in the center. Make a cut in both cardboard pieces to easily pass the yarn through.
Pass the yarn through the circle as many times as necessary. The more passes, the fluffier!
Carefully cut the yarn around the circle.
Insert a strand of yarn between the two cardboard pieces, across their entire diameter, and carefully pull tightly, wrap, and tie 2 or 3 times to secure it well. Leave a long tail for sewing to the bootie.
Trim any excess fringes to give the pom-pom a spherical shape.
FINISHING
How wonderful it is to put these soft booties on your baby. The neutral color of the bootie with the neon shade of the pom-pom gives it a modern and daring touch.
