I had the honor to showcase my little knitting at a popular holiday fair in the bay area

Among the favorites

Adorable 100% fine merino handknit booties, light grey color with Liberty of London ribbon (Meadow purple, red or Capel Mustard).

more are coming...

Keeping baby feet warm is essential especially in the first days of a baby life.

These adorable baby tiger booties in very fine merino will keep their little feet warm and cosy.

Ribbon will assure the booties are still one even if baby is on the move ☺

100% super soft Merino wool from Malabrigo Finito

This luxurious yarn comes from the finest Uruguayan wool. It only comes to market ONCE a year in limited quantities!

Size 0 to 3 months

Ribbon Liberty of London Meadow purple

Assorted ribbon colors are avaialble (all Liberty of London).

3 size, 1 ball, these little sox are super easy and adorable.

I combined a few techniques and made a mistake at the heel on my first pair trying the short heel technique.

I found my mistake a way better result than the short heel. It works well on baby because their heel is not as defined as an adult.

From experience, I thought babies needed socks until they try to stand up so I made the pattern for 1 month, 3 month and up to 6 month old.
