Outfit the baby with booties made with Premium Mountain Merino® Wool!
Knit with our natural undyed "Laramie" yarn (2-ply worsted weight), these boots are sized for a 6-month baby. The pattern requires a US 7 straight needle which is not included. The "fur" stitch around the top of the boot is also called a loop stitch. This pattern is for an advanced beginner.
The kit is packaged in a light organza bag and includes the pattern and the yarn.
Designer
The Hello Baby Boots were designed by Appalachian Baby Design.
We were introduced to this delightful company at a trade show and their designs show the dedication they have in producing beautiful heirloom baby gifts. While most of their patterns use a lovely cotton yarn we collaborated to create a few special wool creations. Wool requires a bit more care than cotton, you have to handwash, but it is a wonderfully warm material for a baby. It regulates temperature exceptionally well.
This is a lovely quote from Appalacian Baby “Our yarn is intended to be used for a slow and easy meditation where individual efforts make a difference, and it is used to express the great joy of a new baby entering our world.”
