While you could buy little booties from a baby or department store, if you want to do something special for someone you love, why not make your own baby booties using a pattern that you really like. You can find patterns to crochet or you could make a knitted bootie. Regardless, you should choose corsage yarn, which is cozy and warm, keeping a little baby’s feet comfortable. Depending on the yarn you purchase, baby booties can be worn throughout the year.
Today, you can find a number of baby bootie patterns for crocheted or knitted booties at most fabric or retail stores in the fabric and notions department. Best of all, you can be as creative as you like. For instance, once you have chosen the baby bootie pattern you like, and then found the yarn that is the right texture and color, you can also embellish the booties to make them unique. A great option is to purchase a gold or silver charm that can be crocheted or knitted right onto the bootie or little ribbons that can be woven into the design.
Another great thing about a baby bootie pattern is that you can make them short, long, thick, and thin, literally, whatever you like. Since making these booties is inexpensive and easy once you find a good pattern, you can keep your baby’s feet warm as he or she grows or give new booties to your family and friends. Making new baby booties as a gift for friends of family members who have babies is an excellent and personal option. In fact, some mothers have even formed organizations where they make baby booties, which are then shipped to third-world countries or given to local families with babies who are on a limited income.
