Sometimes it feels like everyone has a baby and there is a baby shower once a month. Many people prefer to give away baby blankets, but let’s face it – it takes a long time to knit a blanket! Believe me, knitted baby booties are the best way to go. Knitted ankle boots are much faster and are also very much appreciated by parents-to-be.

Think you don’t know anything about knitting baby shoes? Think again! Many knitted baby shoes are really very simple and only consist of simple knitted and purl stitches. There is no need to increase or decrease in many models of knitted baby shoes.

And there are many knitted baby shoe models that are processed flat on flat needles and are more suitable for beginners. We have something for everyone here in these great knitted baby shoes!
