Tiny Heart Baby Booties is an easy knitting pattern with detailed step-by-step instructions. The pattern includes 3 sizes, from newborn up to 12 months.
The English pattern comes in two versions, one for knitting flat and one for knitting in the round, and you get both PDF files. Worked flat, the booties are knitted back and forth and seamed together at the end. Worked in the round, they are knitted in one piece on double-pointed needles or with the magic loop technique, and the sole is grafted together with Kitchener stitch.
The heart motif is made with purl stitches and appears on both sides of the booties. The pattern includes photos showing how to seam and a link to a video on Kitchener stitch.
