I have now added a Version 2 of this very popular design, with an extra stitch in the centre front. 
It pulls the front together and the 'gaps' are reduced.

    4. Can't wait to try them - cute and so "in style" - my DIL's sister is expecting a baby late August - they live in MI - so cold fall and winter weather. Thank you so much for the pattern. If you have a sweater pattern that would go nicely with this (generic - either for boy or girl), I would love it. Many thanks. Shelia

    5. Hi Marianna, Thank you for sharing your lovely patterns. Please could you let me know what colour wool you used for the booties in the photographs at the top of the page? i.e. the "brown/beige" and the "grey" - very complimentary with the white.

  7. Love these!! Would love to see larger sizes, even adult 😊

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. it looks like you could do these in larger sizes for 3 month size you add 6 stitches to the cast on stitches of a newborn so if you add 6 stitches per 3 months for size that might work. so 9 months its 38 stitches you need to cast on 44 stitches for 1 year.. its trial and error really after the year mark but the 6 stitches per 3 months might be the formula to use. I'm assuming that you can print the pattern off for yourself to use so you can make notations for sizes you want to use.

      Delete
    2. I will be adding larger sizes :) I want to knit them first to check out the extra rows in height that will be needed as well as the extra stitches. You need to get the length of the sole right as well as the height. :) M x

  8. quick question when you say we can sell what we make but not copy your patterns you mean don't make copies of the pattern itself to sell or give away right?

    1. Hi Darcy - you can print or copy patterns for your own personal use - but it is illegal to copy patterns for friends - or to sell patterns - or copy them on to another site or group. If you like a pattern and want to share it with others you must give them a link to the blog where they will find the instructions. :) M x

  24. Fantastic pattern! I would like to look at adapting it to fit bigger children's feet (2-6 yr olds), with the possibility of putting in or on a hard sole. Would this be ok?

  25. my first ever knit and I managed it... almost, got a bit stuck on what knit 2 together tbl meant but they turned out good, nice pattern ty x

  26. I believe kfb means knit from back. However, I was taught to knit from the back and it's the only way I know how to knit. What do I do when the pattern calls for kfb stitches?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Knit into front of stitch, don't take off needle, knit into back of stitch then take off needles. Look up, tons of videos and tutorials on the web.

  30. me encanta sus modelos de botitas para bebe. Soy nueva en tejer y no entiendo mucho las abreviaturas
    estoy tejiendo par 6 meses. monto 38 puntos y en la primera fila dice
    K1, kfb, K15, kfb)twice ,k2. después de esta fila dice que hay que tener 42 puntos. y no me sale

    1. well I suppose it should be K1, kfb, K17, kfb) twice, k2...
      it seems normal to arrive at 42 since you increase 2 stitches twice.

  34. While I've been a machine knitter for many years, I'm a fairly new hand knitter. I understand most of your abbreviations, but tbl has me stumped. Could you please clarify it for me? My niece is due in mid October and I would really love to make a pair of these booties for her new baby.
    Thanks,
    Sharon

  38. Thank you so much for your lovely booties!! I made 2 pairs and can't stop making them. My friend is hooked also - she loved them on first sight and asked me to translate the pattern.

    I will translate one in French and German and then send it to you or post here. Is that ok?

  54. Hi I'm Heather n I just love theses patterns. I've already done the hat and now ready to do the booties to match but I don't know what the abbreviation tbl means. Could you explain for me please? Big big fan of both the hat n booties n can't wait to get going knitting the booties. Thank u. Xx

    ReplyDelete
  55. Hi. It would be great if you could include a glossary of terms at the start of your patterns to explain what all the abbreviations mean. I can see from the above that kfb means knit through the front and back of the stitch, but could you please let us know what tbl means (through back of the loop)? I notice that someone else has asked this, but cannot see a reply. Thank you.

    1. KFB = Knit Front Back (This is an increase)
      TBL = Through Back Loop
      K2tog = K 2 stitches together (This is a decrease)
      K = Knit
      P = Purl

  56. If i wanted to make larger size, i would just use larger needles and yarn that works with larger needles. Ive done this with sweaters for babies.

  59. Just finished my third pair (young niece having her first next week). We don't know the sex yet so they're in white and fawn, and white and soft gray. Although the end result is very good I seem to be having some problems implementing the pattern properly: when doing the sole, the number of stiches to knit (or purl) at the end of the line is always one stitch short, but the number of stiches on the finished row is correct (now, that's got to be me, but how?). Also shaping the foot; from the front view the right side of the decrease is a lovely stocking stitch single line, but the left side is consistently wrong.. Sort of zig zag. Noone else but me would notice, the booties are far too charming for that, but I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong just for future reference. Many thanks for a lovely pattern.. Love from down under. Lyn.

  60. Hi Marianna,

    I would like to knit these for my Grandchild. Thanks a lot for the details. It helps a lot for person like me, who had discontinued knitting long back. Once again, thanks.

  61. Thank you for this gorgeous pattern Marianna. I haven't done any knitting in years but I tried these for my third grandchild due in March and they are lovely. Really easy to follow. I'm so pleased with how they've turned out.

  65. Hey, I have just come across this pattern and the booties are so adorable that I rushed out to buy yarn. Now I am getting started and am not sure if you start or finish with the cuff so am not clear which colour I should start with. If you could please let me know, I sure would appreciate it!

  70. I have not knitted anything much beyond some lacy shawls and was a bit wary about constructing anything. These came out beautifully and I couldn't be happier. From the redwood forests of coastal Northern California, I thank you for sharing your creation (as well, for writing a clear pattern to follow, which builds confidence in people such as I!)! ~ Joana

  72. Hi
    I absolutely love your pattern for the baby hug boots. Have made a pair already. Could you tell me the wool you used. I am in Australia and would like to try for something similar.
    Thanks

  74. I'm new to knitting. I've been able to look up all the abbreviations and watch videos on how to TBL, KFB, etc. However in the pattern you call for a S1. I learned that is a slip stitch. Would this be a knit or a purl slip stitch in this pattern or does it matter. Thank you.

  75. Do you know what the gauge is? I usually get gauge with the suggested needle size, but not always.

    Thanks for the really cute pattern. --Anne

  78. Hi from Cape Town, South Africa. I have just discovered your page - wow, so many awesome items I would like to try, if only I had another pair of hands! Thank you for sharing your beautiful work. I am dying to get stuck into a pair of your Baby Hug Boots for my soon to be born grandson. I can see I will have to make more as he grows. It is fantastic that you give instructions for a range of sizes. Happy knitting.

    ReplyDelete
  79. These gorgeous boots are brilliant. I use your patterns to knit dolls clothes for charity. However booties are always too long as baby dolls feet are short. You have come to the rescue with this pattern. I use your medium preemie size with a 3.5mm needle instead of the 3.75mm the pattern states. Fits the dolls perfectly!

  87. Love the pattern but a bit confused. Pattern does not state where you are starting the booties and what each section of instructions are for, just simply "change colors". 1. Are the soles the first section to complete and meant to be a diff color than the body of the bootie?

    ReplyDelete

    1. Yes Chris. You are starting at the sole and working up - ending with the turn over cuff. You can use one colour only - or 2 colours. I like them best with 2 colours :) Happy knitting. M
