Adults don´t like cold feet and that is no different for babies. They just can´t tell us when their feet are getting cold, that´s why we wrap up baby feet in beautiful booties, preventing such discomfort. These booties worked in Baby Smiles Merino Mix are nice as a gift for babies born in winter, or a great small project that can be accomplished during the last weeks of pregnancy, when the couch is the favorite place during the day and you need some distraction from waiting for that soon-to-be-born baby. Instructions are available for foot lengths of 10, 11 and 12 cm (approx. 4, 4.3 and 4.7 in), for ages 0-12 months. It´s a good idea to knit them in the next larger size, the little one will grow into them in no time. The same design is also available for a thinner yarn weight, look for LILLI BS60100.
