Baby Boots by Frankie Brown



I did a picot bind off to resemble fringe on a moccasin.

These were time consuming, as many booties are. There is a seam along the bottom of the foot so they are best for smaller babies.



I used Quince & Co Finch (fingering) in Bird’s Egg and Iceland.

Intriguing design. Pattern is written as if it is still a mystery knit. Fabric is on the bias. You either have to twist yarns and carry up the side or have a lot of ends to weave in.

Product Notes

There seems to be a proliferation of ways to protect us from our needle points.
