How to Loom Knit Baby Booties with No Holes and No Bulk

Tiny socks are cheap, quick, easy to make and baby booties make great gifts when you add a little hat and pair of no-scratch mittens. On this post you will find a written pattern for the Baby Booties and a video tutorial that is less than 12 minutes but takes you step by step through this fun project. I have put a lot of  emphasis on the heel which is the most difficult part of the little shoe. I worked hard to make sure that you would be left with a sock free of holes and bulk, perfect for the baby’s comfort and warmth.

Anyone can manage making a pair. Plus, I assure you that you have enough yarn right now to complete you first pair. In fact you can make them with scraps of yarn. That was what I used to figure out my pattern. How cool is that?

Pattern for Baby Booties on a Flower Loom

Notes and Materials

Loom: 12-peg Loom. I used the Knifty Knitter Flower Loom

Hook: Any Loom Knitting Hook. I used the Knifty Knitter with a Rubber Band Grip

Yarn: Any Worsted Weight Yarn. I used Red Heart Super Saver. Soft Navy for the featured photo and  Bon Bon print in the video.

Stitches: Knit (U-wrap). This is important because if you use the e-Wrap stitch you will need thick yarn or two strands.

Sock Size: 3 to 6 months. To adjust size note that 6 rows equals 1 inch (2.54 cm)

 

Note to BEGINNERS : If you’re a beginner it’s a good idea to mark your loom. Watch the video tutorial completely before starting your baby booties.
