Whit's Knits: Baby Mocs

Thanksgiving is time for pumpkin pie and Aunt Edna and loosened belt buckles, but it's also time to give thanks to America's native cultures for all the life-saving knowledge they shared with Plymouth's earliest settlers. In honor of that friendship, we bring you moccasin-inspired baby booties!

Just in time for chilly feet, these Blue Sky Alpaca mocs will keep tiny toes warm all winter long. They are simple enough for beginners, with an easy construction - no gussets, no turning of heels! - and fun enough for every level of knitter. Whip up a pair to enliven this year's Thanksgiving dinner, or make a set of three for a really charming present. I have to warn you, they're addictive!

For the pattern and step-by-step instructions, please visit our Baby Mocs Project Journal.

Thanks! - Whitney

Nice! And I just said to myself, "self, you can NOT start any more projects until you get this pile finished." And now I see these. I wonder if 'self' will notice if I slip this pattern to the top of the pile......

Ooh la. I came on here looking for mitten ideas but I think I found my baby nephew's Christmas present instead. Thank you! (Especially the bit about them being easy. :) )

Oh, these are so perfect for my little baby bean. Booties designed for baby boys tend to be so silly, but these are wonderful, and of course, not gender specific, as, if they were in multiple sizes, I'm pretty sure all the kids in my life would love them. Well done!
November 18, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMelissa
wow, love them!
