    I love knitted booties. I guess they are old-fashioned but who cares? They are wonderful to keep babies feet warm. Well done.

    These are precious. Baby booties might be old fashioned, but who cares. They are cute and adorable.

    Yes, and wonderful!! Old fashioned doesn't mean "bad" to me. You have done a wonderful instructive lens here. I am an expert crocheter but have never knit anything. I could do these with your great instructions!

    Not at all! I love making my own knitted things.. I did everything for my first two daughters!
    Blessed!

    Could someone explain how you knit the sides up? I am very confused. Thanks!
  • imolaK Nov 3, 2011 @ 1:43 am | delete
    For stitching the sides together follow the instruction at "More knitting instruction" section. In the photo you'll see that you'll have to put the side stitch on the knitting needle and you'll got a row. The side stitch is lifted on needle and knitted together with the first stitch which is already on your needle.When you finish this row, on the next row you'll repeat everything .

    Could you please explain to me how you Knit the sides together. Or did you mean to sew them together? Please help I am very lost!

    I love to knit, and once I had it as an additional income. Now I have a little time, but never gave up knitting. I will try to show their works in the near future and to describe them. Thank you for inspiring.

    These booties are so adorable. I used to knit a great deal when I was a child. I really must begin again. I would love to make some of these baby booties to give as gifts. Thank you so much for the excellent instructions. Appreciated!
  • Noelle_and_Dan Sep 22, 2011 @ 3:35 pm | delete
    I think new moms appreciate the thought and work that goes into knitting a gift for their baby. I made a pair for my sister's first born and a receiving ... well, I guess your can call it a knitted sack with a hood. Its for winter time, I lined it with a soft material, the new baby slips in and can be taken out to the car in cold weather. I made the booties in a soft baby color and the carrying sack in rust and browns. My sister said she was so happy to receive a gift that was something other than baby colors. She used the receiving sack with all three of her young ones. Now would one call it a sack or a poke ... or something else?

    Explained oh so very well. I used to knit so many items and baby booties was one of my favorites. They knitted up so easily.
  • djroll Sep 19, 2011 @ 11:38 am | delete
    Nice lens. I like all the details and thought you put into it. Very helpful.
  • stachelford Sep 9, 2011 @ 9:11 am | delete
    Thanks for this. It motivated to get the needles out and relearn what I never quite figured out! It is one of my life's ambitions to learn how to knit well enough to make all my boys great sweaters!!!
  • AllThingsAnimals Sep 9, 2011 @ 3:18 am | delete
    Great lens! These are so cute! I made a pair for myself and they're so comfy.
    You know what else is cute? You can make a little pom-pom out of yarn and add it to the toe. It looks really adorable!

    These look like they would be extremely sentimental and close to the heart, nice work!

    I am not a great knitter but surely love these baby bootees, great to receive hand made gifts.
  • ellagis Aug 5, 2011 @ 3:43 am | delete
    No, I don´t think it´s old-fashoned if you mean with old-fashoned something less nice than the "new-fashoned"!!! I think it´s a very nice thing to do, that allows to have such lovely bootees!! I would surely try to do it, if I had a baby (well, probably I would try to do it before having the baby, because maybe after I would not have the time!), and I would follow your lens, because it´s so detailed and clear!

    Even instructions for a left handed person, how kind of you to do that. Your little booties are adorable, I think my Mom used to make them too, I know she knit great socks. I only ever did squares. Very nicely done.

    Nice of you to remember the left handed people! I'm going to lens roll this to my Sheep and Wool Festival~ Thanks for visiting that lens!

    Yes they are. But they are so cute.
  • thewishpearl Jun 28, 2010 @ 8:01 am | delete
    Yes and that is what makes them so nice! I love anything hand knitted and used to make a lot of my childrens sweaters and even their christening outfits. Knitting is very relaxing. There are so many beautiful yarns available today that it is worth taking the time to make it yourself. Thank you for visiting my wish pearl lens
  • lizziebeth Feb 14, 2010 @ 7:58 pm | delete
    I have to answer yes and not to your question.... I think that knitting baby bootees is both old-fashioned and very new - because people today are knitting baby bootees and it is a modern thing, but also a thing that started long ago. I love baby bootees and they are such a cute, practical thing to make. I liked your lens!

  • imolaK Jan 19, 2010 @ 1:20 am | delete
    It's not a hard thing to knit but it needs time and a lot of patience,lol. I don't have time to knit sweaters, I have time only for small pieces.
  • arncyn Jan 18, 2010 @ 5:27 am | delete
    Those booties are indeed adorable! I learned to knit over the holidays and would love to make these booties as a gift for my mom friends someday. Thank you for the how-to (:
